I took the GRE for the first time this past Wednesday (9/4/19) and got a really satisfactory score. When I checked the requirements on the schools I'm applying to some of them (Davis, Colorado) had a GRE deadline back in August... I'm pretty sure (99% sure) I'll get my scores in by the VMCAS deadline but am I screwed for taking the GRE after the deadline the schools chose?
GRE Deadlines??

Based on the websites I would say you're almost definitely out of luck for Davis and possibly out of luck on Colorado. That's my interpretation of how they word things.
But you should contact both schools to check.

What did the schools end up saying about taking it after their deadlines?

Call the schools admissions' offices and just ask. I think that likely they will tell you that because the deadline is posted on their websites that there is nothing they can do but you never know.

I just received access to the supplemental app for UC-Davis. It says the following:
"The deadline to take the GRE for the 2019 - 20 application cycle is AUGUST 31, 2019. The GRE must have been taken within the five-year period: AUGUST 31, 2014 - AUGUST 31, 2019. Tests taken outside of this time period are not valid and will not be used in the evaluation of your application."
Based on the information above, I don't think UC-Davis would consider you for admission.
