I would try to petition it. Excelsior seems very reasonable compared to my last school. I was told that my Technical Writing and Intermediate Algebra courses probably would only transfer as electives, so I sent printed catalog descriptions and syllabi and they accepted both courses as general requirements. It never hurts to ask. The worst they can say is no.

Is there any way to get a copy of your essay from the exam that you could send to them? Or perhaps you could send them other written projects that would demonstrate your abilities?
