What’s your research paper on Euler’s #? Those are some pretty low scores you have but if the research paper really shows aptitude and passion, I think you could still be admitted. This paper has to be pretty amazing though.

Are you an especially bad test taker? A 4 on AB Calculus means you perform poorly on MC and free-response questions. Most of your grades at Caltech will be based on tests, but the tests are nothing like tests from high school.
