I do have a 3.9 gpa good refrences and a perfect personal statment that i had several profesor read and i have alot of volunteer stuff i did during undergrad. What do u think guys?

I think that the focus for most places is on your verbal and writing scores. Your verbal score is at a good percentile, your GPA is high, and you have references and a great personal statement, so I wouldn't worry too much depending on where you're applying (especially if you have related volunteer work too). I would recommend double checking your school choices to make sure that they don't specify a certain percentile requirement. Some of the schools I'm applying to require that every score is at or above the 40th percentile, while some other ones only offer a class profile from a previous year. You could apply to some schools that do not require the GRE too just to be on the safe side. Also, one of my admissions counselors recommended writing a note (if the process offers it) to explain the score and say why you're still a great applicant.

Thanks for giving me hope!!!! May i ask what schools your applying to? I live in ny and i find that it will be hard to relocate. I dont even know how to drive lol. Most towns out of ny require a car. So i will be applying to every school thats in nyc area.

I know schools are pretty willing to look past lower quant scores because often (though not the rule!) non-math types are drawn to this field. :)

You could always try and apply to programs that don't require the gre scores as part of the admissions process. I know my program didn't require GRE scores when I apply. Or like @smileyslpsaid explain to programs that you are applying to why you are a great applicant regardless of the GRE score.

@AlwaysaFalcon what programs did you apply 2 if I may ask. Also which schools did not require the gre?

The schools I applied to are under my signature and one of the programs I received an acceptance from, Governors State University didn't require a gre when I applied.
