If I don't have these pre-reqs can I still get in?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am trying very hard to get accepted into a UC-system school. My top 2 schools are Cal and UCLA. Here is the story: I transferred to a California community college this year (my soph. year) from a school in Texas. Before I transferred I made sure my community college accepted all my credits from my school in TX, which they did. The only problem was that in high school I had taken the AP chemistry test and gotten a 4 which in tx had given me credit for General chemistry 1/2.
Problem: when I moved to california they didn't accept my AP score so i had to RESTART chemistry from the very beginning. for this reason I did not have room in my schedule to take Organic chemistry</p>

<p>I applied to Cal and UCLA as a biochemistry major. One of the major pre-requisites they "STRONGLY RECOMMEND" is 2 semesters of organic chemistry. I explained my situation to both schools in the "additional comments" sections of each application, but I'm still freaking out. Is is possible I'll get admitted or is it a long shot? Any advice helps!</p>

<p>I emailed UCF the other day and they told me you can still be accepted before you finish prereqs. They said I’d be pending until I finished the reqs but said I could work on a minor in the meantime. Different school, but I imagine it’s simila. I’d email admissions and ask. But I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
