"I'm studying because I want to blow my application out of the water in every way I can..." I think you probably nailed why certain programs want a GRE. It's that extra step to see you're committed to the endeavor. I was in your position about three years ago, and finished my Master's last spring. What I picked up from being in graduate school: It isn't about measurement (i.e. grades). It's about acquiring depth in a subject that an average college graduate doesn't think about on a professional or academic level. It's way more about pushing yourself than pleasing professors.
