<p>I've been checking my application status every day for the last week and today it finally updated. The top part just showed how they've received all parts of my application and then in the end, it said this:</p>

<p>One thing that has me really worried is that I want to major in biology but I don't have many of the prerequisites. I'm a dual enrolled student and by the end of this school year I will have an AA degree and my high school diploma. I have a 3.88 unweighted GPA and a 4.62 weighted GPA. My class rank is 8 out of 444 (or 404 I can't remember but it's one of those). I made a 26 on my ACT and will be retaking it. I've been a varsity lacrosse player for four years, captain for 2 years and have played for elite travel teams, I'm hoping to add more to my list of lacrosse accomplishments like All-Districts or County, along with highest scorer in school history. I'm the treasurer of National Honor Society at my school. I'm involved in gardening clubs, a marathon running club, yoga clubs, and a few other. I'm also first generation and Asian-American, English was not my first language. I come from a low income family. </p>

<p>The some of the college courses I've taken/will be taking by the end of this year are composition, introduction to literature, introduction to sociology, introduction to psychology, intro to chemistry, philosophy, humanities forum, bio 1, economics, trig, precalc, cal 1 and other classes that are required for my AA.
Do I still have any chance or is this rejection because I don't have many of my major prerequisites?? </p>

<p>If anyone could help me, thank you!!</p>

<p>Well, the only thing I can say is that you’ll be judged as a transfer student, since students with AA degrees are transfers. I think you’re fine, though.</p>

<p>I was told to apply as a freshman and I’m hoping that I get treated like one because I’m short quite a prerequisites for my major if I’m going in as a junior. It would’ve been impossible for me to take some classes due to my high school requirements and AA requirement taking up most of my schedule. </p>
