A rep from UNC 's MSW program came to our campus and I spoke with her about the scary GRE (math portion in particular). I suggested they test on Mandarin Chinese rather than algebra/geometry...as many of us would do about the same score-wise - and maybe even better. I'm feeling your pain because I knew going into the GRE that my score would be pretty pathetic. AND it was!! But my verbal was pretty high... The contact at UNC asked me how I did in statistics and I did well in that, so she said that they would look at "the whole picture." I also saw a blog from a current student whose standardized testing ability was not her forte... I guess the short answer is: um... ohgosh, anybody's guess. Hopefully, they do look at GPA, references, statements, etc. And with that said, I miss terribly the snail-mail days (I'm an old girl) when one only had to check ONCE PER DAY for "the coveted letter / packet". I seriously have a growing obsessional neurosis at this point, checking e-mail way, way, way, too often.
