I am also now in "evaluation."

I can't believe I am looking at this link again. Last year I made it to the reserve list, so we shall see what happens this year . . .

The wait may drive me crazy.

We will know in two weeks guys. I feel your anxiety, I have so much work and yet this thing is in my mind. We are in this together. Hopefully many of the people in this forum will get it. Sending positive vibes out there, the competition is so fierce and most of us want this so badly. I am sure tha...

Here is what we discussed before regarding brexit Is it possible that the results will be delayed this year due to brexit? Any info on that? From what I have understood from Internet + asking the comission, > If the Brexit takes place before the results are announced, the UK will take over assessme...

Question to those who received Reject today (reserve list) regarding last year proposal: Do you have the same project number (for re-submitted proposal)? New number. I just wasn't thinking about the number when I received the email. But now I will! I think for their administration it is a totally n...

good luck PetetheCat - hope it is successful this year - quite horrible to see the REJECT in one's inbox

Unfortunately true, it happened to me. Applied twice, first time got 91, fixed the proposal following the comments and i got a 76 :lol: :lol: :lol: ...I am curious this year! This also happened to me. And both myself and my supervisor thought at first that it was a rejection for this year. He sent ...

Hi everyone! My proposal from last year was put on the reserve list and I received an email today saying the proposal had been rejected. It took me a while to realize the email was referring to last year's application! Did this happen to anyone else? This also happened to me. And both myself and my...

It’s early days! It's nothing compared to last year. Nah last year was really crazy. We were quite anxious about the results. Imagine getting on the 29 of jan and not getting the results. Then people started to do crazy stuff like back coding the link and found the matrix, using mayan calendar to s...

It looks like everyone is in a similar position. I'm just under 2 years into my first postdoc, in a different EU country than my host institute. And am seriously considering leaving academia if I don't get the MSCA IF. Will probably apply again this year, but maybe not even that. Don't know if I ca...
