Will a 490 in math keep me out?!

I’ve applied ED to a top women’s LAC and though I realize that my application is well out of my hands at this point, I’d like some feeback from someone who is not related to me, who can help put things in prospective before the blow finally falls.

Superscoring my SAT (taken twice) I have

R: 620
M: 490
W: 710

My unweighted GPA is about 4.12

I have taken five honors classes and Seven AP classes at my highschool (we have about fourteen AP’s this year but had sufficiently less though out past years)

I have a strong resume of film involvement and and a fairly good hook essay about how my mother going back to college influenced my goal to get into a better highschool and turn my scary grades around. I have several other leadership positions and volenteer work but my film work really matters the most so I emphasized that.

My SAT 2 scores are:

US history: 720

I’m still waiting for Lit and Bio and they will be sent directly to the collenge

I’ve been reading though CC many a time that LAC are known for looking holistically at applicants. On the other hand, my math score is about 200 lower than their advarage. How high is my chance of acceptance?
