Will a good SAT CR and writing make up for a subpar math score? **Will chance/answer back**

Hello all!
I’m currently scoring in the upper quartile of the 700s (775-800) on my SAT CR and writing, but I’m stuck in upper 500s/low 600s (580-610) for math. I’m hoping to get up to at least 620-630 by January 23rd, but that’s my cut off with the test change format (curse you CollegeBoard!) As you may have guessed, I’m not planning on going into any STEM-oriented majors or fields, but I would like to apply to some top tier schools (Barnard College in New York City is my current top choice). To give you some context, for most of the schools I’m looking at, I’m well above the 75th percentile in CR and writing, but below or at the 25th for math. I appreciate any insight or anecdotes, and I will answer and/or chance back any threads you post links to. Thank you!
