This is a tough situation.

Did you tell them you have an application deadline on July 1st? Was their response the "31 days thing"? I would call someone at GMAC and talk to an actual person.

If nothing works out, I would call MBA Admissions at Harvard. Tell them what happened, ask if you can submit your application without scores -- maybe even get an official statement from GMAC sent to Harvard people so they know you aren't making stuff up. I'm pretty sure for 2+2 they don't decide on interviews until late July/early August. If you can take the test on July 27th, you can send them scores them. From what I've heard, the GMAT is more of a threshold thing: if you're above a certain number, good, and a very high score only helps candidates slightly, if at all.

Are there any testing locations you can get to before the Wednesday deadline? If you think it's worth it, a long drive might not be a bad idea. Of course, there are lots of things to consider.

Hope this helps!

Its weekend time so no 1 will pick up the call !!!
Neither GMAC nor HBS !!!
Have to call em up tomo..
Hope it works out...
thanks for help..

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience.

I think you should get in touch with HBS Adcom first thing Monday morning. Also, I'd suggest you speak to GMAC about allowing you to take the test before 21 days. Given that the error was the testing center's fault, they should allow you to reschedule immediately.
