I would self-study and take and do well on the biology AP to make up for the C- in 10th grade, but it's okay if you don't really want to do that. Your work and research experience are awesome. It sounds like you'd be a very interesting person to talk to. No one can really tell you your chances, especially since you're applying as an international student, especially without meeting you or reading your essays. At this point your personality is the most important part of your application. Make sure your essays reflect you well, that you have a pleasant interview, and that you get recommendation letters from people who like you and know you well. You should also get supplemental recommendations from the people you've worked for, especially the professor who oversaw your research. Good luck.
