<p>I don’t think the 730 is high enough to help you. It’s not bad enough to get you rejected on its own but it’s also not good enough to make up for the SAT I. </p>
<p>Are you applying this application season? If not, you should retake the SAT I. </p>
<p>The C’s in math at college and your explanation might be ok if it weren’t for that score. However, the adcom is unlikely to overlook two red flags in one application. I won’t say there’s no chance it won’t happen, but it’s unlikely. Whether you want to take that chance is obviously your decision. I can’t tell you whether it’s “worth it” for you or not. It’s not my time and money that’s going to be put into the application. </p>
<p>Also, it’s not just that Caltech has a rigorous math/science curriculum, it’s also that its humanities/social sciences aren’t very rigorous from what I’ve seen (except for economics) and if you have a real interest in humanities they’re likely to disappoint you.</p>
