Grad school is evaluated based on the Program much more than the school. A classic example is my friend who graduated from Smith and is now doing doctoral work at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill..you wouldn't automatically think of a smith grad going to UNC from Smith but UNC happens to have one of the top 5 clinical psych grad programs in the country. Research the program before you research the school.
Oh and I took the GRE twice and did badly on it. I'm also a Smith grad and got A's at smith but i test horribly on standardized tests. I even took Princeton Review classes to study up for it and still bombed it. I told myself that I wouldn't take it more than twice..and I won't. I have no immediate plans for grad school but I think grad programs definitely look more at the whole package than at just the scores. Moreso than undergrad schools, unless they're really competetive.

Hope that helped a little.
