I think adcoms downplay the GRE only after an applicant has achieved a threshold score (i.e., 750 or so). At my school (Cornell), I came across a set of application folders, and each had the quant. GRE score prominently listed on the front of the folder (but no mention of GPA). Good quant. scores are never sufficient to be admitted, but poor ones can definitely keep you out of a good progam.

Even for AgEcon schools, 670Q is a bit low, and is worth re-taking.
