Thanks for the reply! I already talked to them, and they encouraged me to still apply. However, I am unsure if they told me that only to not completely demoralize me.

I'm kind of freaking out right now, because I waited until very late to take the GRE and did not perform as good as I thought I would. Should I even bother to still apply? Could I retake the GRE and update my scores after I submit my application?
