You got some explaining to do on your application yes about the science/physics score. I know about Michigan more so. My son with 34 Act but 35 in science and math with an “A” in AP physics C found even beginning engineering physics 1 and 2 very tough. His worst subject at Michigan. Michigan is known for very tough science and Math. Applying liberal arts and picking your major in sophomore year will help. Cornell, MIT and Uchicago will have the same concerns. Have safeties. The schools might realize this part of your application doesn’t really add up to your whole profile. I would be reaching out to the regional counselors for each of these schools and start asking questions and letting them know about this /your school situation. If you take physics C and ace the first semester… This would go a long way to prove to them that you can do this. Also not sure why you stated these schools don’t put weight on science scores… This is incorrect.
