Said I wanted to take English the summer before my freshman year. They complied, by enrolling me in a remedial reading class. I quickly figured out this whole thing was a joke and completed freshman college Englis my senior year at that JC (which Stanford allowed me full credit for.) being naive and, I admit, a little cocky, I applied to only one college and fortunately was accepted.
I think you might want to look over your notes from that Englis class again.
