I also got an HM. What are the ratings some of the winners are getting on their sheets (# of excellent/very goods/etc)? I got 4 excellent and 2 very good, but the writing in the reviews doesn't seem to be too beneficial for retooling essays...

I too am in limbo, and I did (unfortunately) submit my general and subject scores. I submitted my NSFGRF application prior to receiving my GRE scores, and I did not score anywhere near what I thought I would (read well below the 85th percentile). I think redeye is right that most people do not submit since it seems that the cutoff for a score that the judges perceive as "good" is usually very high. The same judgement seems to be true in grad school apps, and I'm guessing it also applies here. So, I doubt your application will suffer from not having those scores. I'm still holding out hope that my reviews overlooked that part of my app :wink: Although, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for next year (if you don't get it this year). Even if you don't get the score you want, you can just not submit them.
