The rejections might come in later but judging from last year's results, I am unable to tell whether all the PhD results are out or not.

To the one who wrote the statement before me mentioning that she has 5 years of experience and publications yet got rejected due to her GRE scores; I understand you. I can't believe that all these years have gone to waste because my GRE is not good enough comparing to the 170, 170, 6.0 I am seeing with those who got interviews. A GRE is not what defines me. I am more than a language test that tests me on words that I am advised not to use in real life to avoid mockery. I am more than a "tricky" math test, that makes you sit for hours like a machine practicing and memorizing common "traps". Do we evolve through our years of college education to become realistic learners who are not restricted by books or lists or do we revert back to small children who spend hours learning things we rarely use just because that's what we were told we NEED to do? As adults, we don't even have that privilege of sitting down for hours as we have jobs and responsibilities. People told me, apply to fallback schools. Why would I want to go somewhere I don't genuinely want to be at? I do understand that it is the norm as all schools in the US look at GRE scores. But it is a sad norm.
