<p>Think of it this way, the colleges want, and need for rankings purposes, to maintain or raise their median scores. Taking unhooked candidates with any score below their 25th percentile will not help the do this. I would focus on raising the math score.</p>
<p>The good news is that 800CR is much more rare than 800M. With a math score in the middle of the 50th percentile the CR score will help you be more viable.</p>
