2nd year graduate student, not accepted for funding nor recommended for HM. Stings, especially because I have to wait 2 weeks to know why. Not too surprised because my field (psychology) does not get a lot of recipients, but I thought my 6 publications (including 2 first-author papers from undergrad) would have helped a lot. Guess not. A bit disappointed because I put months into my application. Guess I learned a lot about how to frame my research though, which is nice, but no gold star.

In my experience, having computational skills should go a long way. The field of cognition has embraced computational modelling for the past couple decades and has seen a proliferation in their use in mainstream literature. I would definitely emphasize that when applying.
