Decaf, I registered just so I could respond to your message. I feel for you, honestly I do. It seems that this is just the way things are in academia, and a meaningful conversation with a professor about his/her PhD program is, in most cases out of the question unless your adviser will speak on your behalf. I've contacted professors myself, and none of them have even acknowledged my existence. My GRE scores are only halfway decent with Q730 for engineering, but I'm publishing 4 times the required number of papers for my master's program in engineering at the University of Delaware, and I'm working under 3 distinguished chairs in an interdisciplinary project. I've also earned all A's or A-'s. Yet, it doesn't matter and I feel that I'll be in the same boat as you when I apply this coming Fall. Professors are avoiding my e-mails like I'm the plague, and it's frustrating to be honest. Good luck to you...I mean it with all my heart.
