i dont know if this will help but i did manage to get an exception. i had to take the second part of biochem and luckily, i found a summer session that ended really early on in the summer. once i email the course information to western, the director of admin said it was ok to take that class summer course. i ended up withdrawing my interview since i got into usc but i'm sure they'll work with you IF the summer course ends early enough (b4 matriculation). good luck!
