"The Local Inhibition of Exam Performance due to Chronic Stress using the NSF Model" I think it's a winner!

I would bet that your GRE scores really don't matter if your proposal and essays are well done. They are really rewarding the fellowship based on potential as a graduate student (they're not even really rewarding this particular project; as we all know, you don't even have to carry out the one in your proposal). The GRE doesn't really tell you much about a student's potential to think about and do science (or related work), just how well you can take a standardized test.

For what it's worth, I got an HM last year (one E/VG, two VG/VG on my ratings sheets) and my GRE scores aren't that stellar.

I don't know where you all get your ideas about GRE scores. Average GRE scores each year are reported at about a 460 Verbal and 570 quantitative. So, anything above a 1030 is above average. I know a young woman who received the award last year with a GRE score of 1120, which she submitted to them. A 1200 is a very good GRE score, that anyone should be proud of attaining. Over 1300 is statistically phenomenal. So, get back to reality and remember that we'll all smart people. I reiterate the fact that GRE scores count for very little in this program. I hope this makes some people feel better. Cheers.
