Your stats are far from ideal (and I'm sure you know that already). How is your research experience? How many publications do you have? If you know a professor here that wants to take you in, then you might have a chance. Even in that case, your application might still be rejected by the grad school (your low GRE scores won't pass the cut-off of most schools - combined V+Q of 300 at least). So retaking GRE is a must, in your case. Most chemistry programs only admit students for Fall semester. Spring admissions are quite rare. Some schools give selected students early-bird fellowships to start research early before their first semester, but I wouldnt call it summer admissions.
