Finally, a person whose situation isn't "I have a perfect GPA and perfect GRE scores, should I bother to apply to an Ivy?".
Q720 is an auto-reject for anything in the top 10, unless you make up for it significantly elsewhere (published papers, recommendations that claim you are the second coming of Jesus Christ, etc). On the other hand, 700 is the mean score of people who enter PhD programs in North America. The mean of the top 30 is 760 or so. Seeing as you're looking for something in the top 50 or top 100, I say that a 720 won't kill you. You can always study hard and take it again for a better chance at admission/funding, but beware that they are adding much more difficult questions to the Quantitative section starting in November.
