How do you know you didn't get it?
I'm very surprised that this year some people that didn't get it were very surprised, including myself. As you, I was told by the peoplr that reviewed my proposal (before submitting) that i was going yo have a very high score (incuding one former msca reviewer), and then I got a very low score.
I thought that the lotery was about getting it or not (i.e. 95 vs 91) never thought the score was totally random.

Did not get the grant, don't know the score. Social sciences. Used very much of time for the proposal: very high EU-relevance, theoretically ambitious, stronger CV than most people at my stage, tried my best with career development and methodological parts & benefited from comments from experienced grant advisors, as well as from my friend's earlier successful MSCA application. I have been successful in similar highly competitive international grant applications earlier.

Life goes on, luckily I still have other funding and I'm not unemployed. Best of luck everyone and remember that these competitions do not determine your value as a researcher, even less so as a person – so many contingent factors related to who happens to review your proposal. See you next year maybe!

If you haven't received any official email, don't trust some random results and news.

I also want to know my results!

Those who received results this morning *by email*, could you please please let us know if you got the official email or not? Let us not ruin yet another weekend. Please!

I hate this forum, it ruined my peaceful waiting!

You will see (i think on monday), that in the moment that one person gets an email everybody is going to start reporting their results. So this has been a false alarm.
About the random guy in the forum, I know that some of you don't beleive him. But I do, because he provided the score and rank (and both matched), which would be impossible for him to know because he does not know our panel.

Guys please tell us if you know the results through MSCA email? We are very stressed....

It was not only one guy this morning, but two.
