<p>It’s not obvious to me that you would be able to pass core math, and if the admissions committee feels the same way, they’ll probably have to err on the safe side and reject you despite your outstanding patents and research. You really do need to bring up that SAT I math above ~750 and absolutely nail the SAT II (>780, but 800 preferably) to have a shot, in my opinion. </p>
<p>The 3 on AB calc is a little concerning as well, but given that was an independent study, they may not find too much fault with that. The C- may be a bit of a problem, but only because it’s in math which doesn’t help to assuage doubts about your ability to pass all of the core requirements.</p>
<p>All in all, if you don’t feel that the SAT I is worth retaking (i.e. you don’t think there’s a good chance you’ll at least break 700 and/or you don’t feel its worth the trouble - which is perfectly understandable I might add), you probably want to look at a school which doesn’t require so much math of its students.</p>
