The GRE for some schools is a deal breaker while at some its only one aspect that they look at. My GRE was fairly similar to yours and I still got into a great program because they looked at the whole picture of the applicant not just a number figure on how well you know English and college math. If you have a solid GPA, tons of varied experience, and great LORs, you really should not have that much of trouble.

Hey! From what I’ve heard, it depends on the school. I’m an undergrad at Arcadia, and I know they use the GRE as a filter for applications, since they receive so many applications per cycle. That being said, if you are below their threshold, you are automatically denied admission. I talked to the Admissions Director at their program, and was told that once you meet the requirement, it doesn’t matter what your score is. I would e-mail the programs you plan on applying to, and seeing what their specific policy is.
