Program Applying: Ph.D in Applied Mathematics

I was wondering if my low(er) quant GRE score would affect my application. Do I have to explain why I have 2 Masters degrees when I apply for PhD?
I am not planning to apply to top 10 colleges, aiming for colleges with ranking around 20-50.

If you could get in Courant for MS and did so well (3.95 should beat many PhD students) you are perfectly fine.
