<p>You are not a math major yet at the time you apply, you will have to take courses outside your major and even math majors should be able to communicate effectively.</p>

<p>So, your CR and writing scores will not be seen as critically as if you would apply as a prospective English major, but they will still carry some weight. More for the "average" math major applicant and less for the international award winning math major applicant.
Rule of thumb: anything below the 25th percentile CR score of the college you are applying to is too low unless your application contains some very convincing "items" (e.g. prestigious awards; being a recruited athlete, a legacy or a URM).</p>
