I agree with ^^.

I would send the SAT's. Your total of 1250 really doesn't mean anything as a single number; in your case it can't be compared to a typical 1250. I'm thinking you'll be viewed as a person very talented in the important CR who happens to have a problem with math. So what if you're not good in math? You don't have to major in it! That's a great thing about college...for the most part, take what interests you. I'm going to hope and assume any admissions person will see you in this positive light. Plus then they'll see your impressive SAT IIs.

I think you'll find plenty of schools interested in someone who scores 800 verbal. If you can put together outstanding essays, even UChicago could be possible imo.
