Any chance of entering good schools with low GRE scores?

I know this question has been asked on this forum many times but I'm asking it in the hope someone has some new answers.
Do I have any chance of getting accepted to good schools for pure mathematics even with a low mGRE score? By good I mean the top 20 schools.
I've just checked my maths scores for October and it's terrible, 710(63%). I was an undergraduate in the social sciences and I only started studying proper maths as a junior so I know my background in basic maths is pretty weak but I was expecting my scores to be a bit more higher. But I've already started my application for 2017 fall so I can't go back now (already received recommendation for some).....
If the other parts of my application are above average (GPA, English skills, research) do you think it will compensate for low mGRE scores?
