Low Quant Score- Pol Sci PhDs

[khazeena]

Hello,

Need advice! After repeated attempts, my GRE score is 165 V/148 Q. I do not think this is reflective of who I am as a candidate at all. I have a stellar academic background and a very high GPA, as well as a Masters degree. Admittedly, my focus has always been qualitative. I also work a great job in policy currently, but really aspire to apply to PhD Political Science programs this year. 

How much might this ruin my chances of getting into a top 20 school? Please advise. Would really appreciate it!! :)
