I agree with a lot of what has been said here, but I do want to point out that it's entirely possible to get into Top 15 and Top 10, and indeed, Top 5 schools with a GRE score below 1300. I got into Yale, Michigan, NYU, and Harvard and only had a 1290. I really do think that the "total package" is all that matters during the process... once you reach a certain threshold, I don't think a school will reject you. SOP and LORs are much more important. And I agree with the previous poster--don't apply to "safety schools." Apply to where you want to go and have a back up plan if you don't get in--why waste your time in a program that you don't like?
