Sounds like this professor overstepped her bounds by promising you something before consulting the grad comittee. Though it's her fault that you have been misled, unfortunately there really isn't anything you can do to overturn the comittee's decision. It's probably too late to apply for grad schools for the fall, but maybe take a year off and reapply to other places for next year?
