Not very good at math, still pretty good at science; do I stand a chance at going to MIT?

So, I'm a sophomore, in Algebra II. Most of my math grades have been pretty low, but passing. I plan on taking Calculus and Statistics by my senior year, and I'm in the IB Diploma Programme. However, I generally have good grades in science classes.

I think I may major in Brain & Cognitive Science or Biology, with probable double major in Philosophy. I know MIT won't let you declare a major until sophomore year of college, but this is what I'm considering. These don't seem to be very math-heavy, but I know MIT is a rather selective school.

Here's where I stand:

88 in Algebra I

72 in Geometry

78 in Algebra II

81 in Biology

92 in Chemistry

GPA: 3.576 (weighted, cumulative)

Rank: 193 out of 616 (31st percentile)

So, would I be able to get in?
