What do most Math/Stat grad programs consider a "good score" for the general GRE? A friend told me you need an 800 in the quant section, and I've also heard that as long as you're above 700, you should be fine.

I took the general GRE today, got a 570 in verbal, 790 quantitative. Don't know the writing score, but I'm guessing it's around a 4.

Anyone know anything definitive? Also, is a 570 an *acceptable* score for a native speaker? I took the general GRE with no practice other than going thru one of the power prep tests. I really don't want to have to take the general test over for the sake of a higher verbal score.
