I see your difficulty as this: your weakness is math with a 26 on that section of the ACT. Looking at course requirements for the Food Science major, I see a lot of math & science classes that typically correlate to math skills (chem / Physics). https://foodscience.cals.cornell.edu/sites/foodscience.cals.cornell.edu/files/shared/Food%20Science%20Option%208-19-2014.pdf IMHO, your profile appears more suited to a major that is more correlated with verbal prowess, however I am obviously not on the admissions committee.
