Low scores / PhD in Creative Writing / Am I screwed out of funding?

[yayspace]

I am applying for a PhD in Creative Writing (some schools are calling it PhD in Lit with creative dissertation, etc.). My GRE verbal score: 157. Analytical Writing: 4.0 and Literature Subject test: 490, 28% below. Two of the schools I'm applying to want the Subject Test score. 

Am I screwed out of funding? Any ideas on how schools make decisions about funding for applicants? 

Of course I'm working my ass off on the other parts of the application. This whole GRE experience is very frustrating!

We're GRE twins: identical scores. (I didn't take the subject test.) I have the same questions and even considered a retake, because I didn't study for it.

I'd like to think the writing sample dictates funding. But even with an MFA from a top program and good publication credits, I don't know where I stand from an admission or funding perspective. We'll know soon... Wishing us both good luck in the process!
