I share the same feelings. Luckily my wife is successful and can support me while I limp along lol. GRE scores should be moot if you hold a Master's degree. It is a shame that it is being used as the sole deciding factor for many schools. I spent a lot of money for them to review my application, and for it to get tossed out before they even read my LORs is insane. What am I paying for?! Why am I wasting my recommenders time? 

Back to the drawing board (or testing center...)

I really appreciate that! Yeah, not looking forward to the hundreds of dollars towards another GRE and the hundreds of dollars towards another round of applications. I don't know why schools don't waive the GRE score for people with grad degrees. Seems like an antiquated system.

UMN decisions have been made I believe- welcome weekend was this past weekend.
I'm sorry to hear that, I can see the utility of standardized tests but yours sounds like a case where they should have taken your Master's into consideration. The tests and applications are so expensive too  

Feeling pretty deflated. Rejected from my top schools because of my GRE score. I used the same score that I used to get my Master's and figured that by having a Master's I wouldn't need to prove I was capable of graduate-level work with a standardized test. I was wrong. Holding out hope for a couple of programs but have received 0 interviews. Not looking forward to asking my recommenders, yet again, to write me LORs
 

For real! Why are they advertising for a program that I already applied to? Like, you got my attention already...now let me in!!

I have not heard a peep from USF either.

Anyone else die a little inside whenever they see people have received invitations via email on the results page and your email doesn’t have any unread messages? ?

I really thought this was just me. Every time I get an email I have a mini heart attack!!! 

That feeling when you get an email from a school and it's just an advertisement...
