Should I Apply With a Low Math SAT?

I love Cornell, and I’m planning to apply RD. My GPA is good (3.90) top 10% of class, extracurriculars are good, etc.

But when it comes to SAT scores, I have a problem in that Cornell doesn’t look at SAT writing scores at all. This is a bummer, since my writing score is my highest:

Critical Reading: 720
Math: 600
Writing: 750

So as you can see, my CR+M score is a measly 1320. Cornell’s 25th percentile for math is 670, and I have a 600 math… My SAT reading score is fine… but my math is so low…

Do you guys think I even have a smidgeon of a chance? I’m planning to major in Government in CAS, which isn’t math heavy.
