<p>I want to major in natural resources in the Cornell, but there are no any biology courses in my high school. Will the admission officers withdraw my application because of not taking required biology courses in the high school?</p>
<p>They won’t if you explain the situation. Though, if you get accepted, they may ask you to do the pre-freshmen summer program so that you are at the same point as everyone else.</p>
<p>Will I be,compared with other qualified applicants, less competitive to report this situation ?</p>
<p>You won’t be considered “less competitive” so to say but if you don’t report it they’ll see it as hey this person didn’t care enough to check our requirements. They’ll see it more as hey this person really wants to come here and is willing to reach out to us, they just didn’t have the resources others had. I was one of the least prepared in engineering when I came in, coming from a small, rural, public high school. Cornell wants to admit students who are hard-workers and show fit into their major/college.</p>
<p>Another option is to take it at a community college or online.</p>
