Not making the foreign language requirement

<p>I was recently looking up one of my top schools on a few different college websites to find that I do not meet their foreign language requirement for high school. This isn't for lack of trying; I transferred to a new school as a junior after two years of Latin and my new school didn't offer Latin. Could this be a major issue when applying? Is there a way that I can explain the situation to the admissions office? (The school is Emerson, if that helps at all.)</p>
