Could a student be admitted without having met all of the high school preparation requirements?

Yes, it is possible under extenuating circumstances. A student who is missing a high school preparation requirement is not automatically disqualified from consideration for admission. However, admission to the University is competitive and all other factors being equal, the student’s application would not be as strong as the application of a student who has completed or exceeded all of the requirements.

“Extenuating circumstances” does not normally mean “did not want to take another semester of art (or other required subject) even though it was readily available in high school”.
