beautifullife Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Retake GRE and you will be fine at any school. With your GRE score, grad schools will filter your application without even reading your application. Otherwise, I think you can even aim higher than top 20-50. Try aiming for top 10-20 since you are competent with math, you should be fine at top institutions also.
