7th position in the reserve list of GF-SOC, with 89.4...
Do you think there will be any possibilities to be funded or not? Have you some statistics from the previous years?

Also in reserve with 92.8% ST soc. How do you know your position in the reserve list? Can't find that anywhere

Hello,

Thanks to Dreamer for helping everyone.

I just got an email (890xxx). My result: 92.8, CHEM, funded, first-time applicant, standard european fellowship.

To encourage some people: I wrote this completely on my own, with my supervisor only reading the proposal and giving minor corrections. Also it is not a famous professor or a famous institution. It's a first-time application and 100% my own idea and project.

Believe in your ideas, their quality, and your potential, however, gaining or not gaining this fellowhip is not a measure of them. I am aware of how lucky I was to be selected (and my score is probably around the cut off... ), and that it might have easily gone the other way around.

Good luck for whatever comes next to everyone, and again -- thanks to @Dreamer.

I am in GF, not ST...
and I am 7th in the reserve list of GF-SOC

Hey,

Got 91.2% in ST-PHY first attempt. I'm 4th on the reserve list in PHY.

Any guess about how likely it is for me to go through.. Alternatively, anyone from PHY who got it and for some reason deciding to decline the offer

Thanks!

I am glad it doesn't in my case. But why? 0.2/5.0 can make big differences as in your case... This is unacceptable.

Weaknesses
- No significant weaknesses were identified.

But the score for the section is 4.80 not 5.00!! why wHY WHY???

The same for me but my score was 4.7...this will cost me the fellowship

It decreases my final score 0.6 points...let see the cut-off score in chem

I asked to my NCP (National Contact Point) this morning and they answered some minutes ago...

My second application and this time I got it with 92.8 (I was in PHY). Slight improvement over last year's 86.8.

My feeling is that it all boils down to "ticking the boxes".

Cool. Did you get it? I got 91.2 first attempt.

Guys sorry who is ask on private for results I am outside of office.

MSCA 2020 is last one call?

No, I think it steals at least 1.2 points from the final score (assuming yours is from the Implementation). The loss is 0.3*6=1.8 if from Impact, or 0.3*10=3.0 points if from Excellence...

Ridiculous!
