The 20.2 drop in 2018 is not ringing alarm bells?

Good luck to you megasphaera! You are a positive and truly funny person. Wishing all the best to you, msca and beyond!
it means that i have also got less than 70 score as i am also in Evaluation phase
Wait and keep calm until we have the official results. Last year happened that some people in EVALUATION got the MSCA. I'm very confident about my application and would be very surprised if I'm below 70%. If I'm under, I won't have any hope about the review process of MSCA as my resubmitted application got 92.6% (reserve list in 2017), 76% (2018) and would drop below 70% this year. That considering that every year I addressed the criticism and even in 2019 application, we've had an external company that audited my application. Will make no sense and will be crystal clear to me that MSCA review is a complete lottery.

A drop from 92.6 to 76 is already a clear sign that the evaluation process is a complete lottery...

For any of us who would like a long term future in the UK this is very depressing.
It was very emotional for me yesterday seeing the EU parliament singing Auld Lang Syne. I think the UK is making such a big mistake in Brexit.

Yeah, it's enough proof to believe that is a complete lottery. Indeed, the external auditor told us that we should've gone for a REDRESS process as it clearly demonstrated that there is no consistency in the review process. This person also explained that every year, a high percentage of reviewers are new and have little or no experience in evaluating MSCA proposals.

But what were the reasons for second rejection? Can you share some comments?

I am also still in Evaluation???
EVALUATION as well
Evaluation as well.
To be honest I have lost all hope. I am quite sure I got less than 70%. Anyway, at least I already made peace with my brain and don't need to wait till the 11th to get pissed off about the result.
I think I will also leave the forum as it make no sense to follow with this!
Good luck guys! I hope your amazing projects will get funded!
I don’t think you should give up yet. So many things could lie behind differences, many of them positive.

A drop of 20.2 points is super hurting... did you try to complain to the NCP or somewhere else for your 2018 application?
Wish you will get it this year!

It was crazy. Basically, Strong points from one year were weaknesses the next year (you can look for my posts last year, you have specific comments there). Such level of contradiction was shocking. So this year the host decided to hire this company that reviewed the two rejected applications, made recommendations and reviewed the 2019 application that should be clear and have all comments addressed. But who knows...
