Phase "RANKING": definitely above the threshold of 70/100
Phase "EVALUATION": definitely meeting the eligibility criteria. "Still not clear" whether or not reached the threshold of 70/100.
Phase "SUBMISSION": "still not clear" whether meeting the eligibility criteria/ passed the threshold of 70/100.

Hello everybody! Just came to say hi and everyone hold on just a little bit more! We will know very soon, even sooner than the 11th, nobody knows. I thought I would be calm this time around but it seems not. We all put so much work into this. I am sure that reading the word rejection will have a devastating effect on me And in all honesty, at least 85% of us will read this word. Let's be realistic. However, I think that the quality of our proposals does not really differ that much. But we are all into this. This is a bit conforting, at least at this point...

Or it might be that people in Ranking is quite clear where they are (they got it or not). While people in evaluation are either below threshold or close to the cutoff, and they are deciding among proposal with the same score, whether they are above cut off or reserve list (that means increasing/decreasing the score).

Again, pure speculation.

we destroyed their system:

I am happy to find other people that as stressed as me while waiting for the results. I have so much hope for this fellowship, as I want to move from my current place and do something different. Wishing good luck to everyone!

I wish I never found this forum i was doing so well, and now seems panic is contagious

For me, it was getting the rejection for my 2018 reserve listed application that began the panic. I think of this forum as entertaining shared anxiety. The hidden links etc are a distraction while we wait, as long as we don’t take them too seriously . . .
