Two years ago I applied to 8 schools for PhD programs. One school, in the state of Michigan, sent me not one, not two, but three, count 'em, three (3)!! rejection letters from the only department I applied to. Some of the other schools did too, but none stung as much as the last two from that one school. I kept them all and when I get my PhD I will send them a copy of my dissertation.

I feel ya. I can beat that though. My total score doesn't add up to yours ( not by a long shot) and I got into a PhD program. The math section was my undoing. I HATE math and never did well in it. I took the GRE three times and my score got lower each time. Fortunately I am in a field where math is like a third cousin (you think about them sometimes, but you NEVER see them). I like to think my letters of rec about my sparkling personality and stand -up guyish demeanor got me into my program. Also, I just completed my taking class portion of the program with a 4.0 GPA. GRE.. Pshhh!
