Huge discrepancy between verbal and quant. Help!

[CoffeeCats_756]

I'm hoping that someone can either confirm my fears or ease my anxiety. I'm currently a postbac at a top three program with a relatively high GPA (3.89 last 90 credits, 3.92 major). I have a lot of great experience in the field and strong letters of rec. I scored a 162 verbal, 4.5 writing, BUT a whopping 144 for quant. Math is my nemesis. I'm hoping that the programs I applied to will overlook these less than desirable scores because they are over 300? Is this just false hope? Neither of the two schools that I applied to have minimum cut offs, but still. Any feed back would be appreciated! I feel like I don't see many people with such as huge gap in their scores like mine :/

These threads were bumped for you already, but just in case you didn't see them:

I had 162 verbal, 5.0 in writing and 152 in quant (48%), 3.92 overall gpa and 3.98 last 2 years gpa and I still got interviews at all my schools. If you are strong everywhere else other than quant, you are find. If your application is average, then that won't help, so you may want to rewrite it.

I have nearly a 20 point difference between my verbal and quant scores too. It's embarrassing, and it's something I'm worried about too. :/
