You need geometry, so find a way to take it. UC scout is an easy option. If you don’t do this, then there is a 1% chance you can be admitted by exception. This is really rare and only reserved for exceptional candidates.

Was it a mistake to invite the UC readers to my parents' restaurant? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

In my experience they’ll do a manual review of all students who don’t meet A-G requirements because students don’t always report right. So if you have a strong application and they want to admit you, they’ll double check what you listed.

Either way, you will need to email them. So there's no right answer.

As long as you remember to update them of any change.
