I was actually in the same situation until now. I didn't hear back from two of the professors I emailed, so after two weeks, I decided to contact them through other ways. I left messages for them with the department assistant and was able to talk to them not long afterwards. They told me since they get a lot of email everyday (with most being spam), mine fell through the cracks. Everything worked out fine for me, so don't give up and move on yet! If they didn't want to write a letter for you, they would have responded to your email with a no. Most likely, they just missed your email.

Same here. My verbal score's corresponding percentile was below those of the estimated range, while my quantitative score's percentile was above those of the estimated range.

It's not a good idea to apply to whatever is easiest to get into. My GPA isn't as high as I would like partly because I wasted a lot of time pursuing a subject I hated. I was miserable enough then; I can't imagine having to go through that experience yet again. In addition, you're going to have a tough time filling out grad school applications if you don't have any interest or background in your intended field. What did you major in as an undergrad? If you didn't like it, what are you interested in studying now? Don't take your GPA into consideration when trying to answer these questions. Whatever it is you want to do, you can make grad school admissions work out for you.
