Dreamer has been really nice to a lot of us. Replying to so many PMs would have taken a heck of a lot of time.

Let's return the favour and be nice to him.
For my part, I have offered to proof read his application next year.

93.6 (Main list) info from Dreamer. Also, received the same info from host. Please contact your host, they also have the insights about your results.
I was ranking according to the famous link. This is my second attempt, same host and same advisor. Improved version based on my previous application. Torn between two things now, MSCA or postdoc in USA. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Do both!

The MSCA IF has an earliest start date of this May, and latest next(2021) September.
See how you can plan your USA postdoc around this.


But, if you really have to choose, unless the USA one is an NSF postdoc, or any named national grant with YOUR name on it, then MSCA any day.

I also would choose the MSCA grant: it is much more competitive than a specific University one. It also shows that you are good in grant writing so another pluspoint if you are applying for jobs later on (grant writing capability is often searched for)

Congrats to all the new fellows!
And big thanks to Dreamer to answering everyone.
Still waiting because I didn't ask him after after calling him a troll
Hope the official results will come soon.

[alev]

OK, I just found out about my status:

Global/SOC category, Score: 89.7
Threshold for Global/SOC: 90
I am 3rd on the Reserve List.
Not celebrating yet but hopeful.

I was told that results will be announced in a few days, maybe even tomorrow. Good luck to those who don't know yet.
Thanks Dreamer and everyone else for sharing...

[MSCA'19]

Good luck everyone. I am also waiting for the results but I don't have high expectations, nobody read my proposal :/
