Dude? I think I got about the same percentile (but I scored 670 or something crappy like that on biochem). I still got into very good schools with worse grades than you.

There is much hope!

My take on this: get your PhD and move on. The PhD will either beat the crap out of you (generic "you") such that one doesn't care anymore or spur you to very great heights.

I happened to drop by and saw your remarks. As with everything in life, for every example, there is always a counter-example. A schoolmate of mine scored something like 600/990 for his Physics GRE and that was atrocious by any measure. Despite that, he got into a respectable grad school and is now in the extremely respectable Institute for Advanced Study for his postdoc. You can brood on that forever and nothing better is ever going to happen until you decide to take a more positive outlook. Afterall, the score wasn't even the beginning of the game. The real game starts only when you are in grad school and you will have a lot more of the opportunities to be acquainted with disappointment and failure. Part of the training is to learn how to endure and cope with them.
