Ah, right, 70% was the threshold. Thanks for clarifying this! So we can be relatively sure about this conclusion? (It would, of course, make a lot of sense - why rank something that ends up below the cut off point anyway.)behradei wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:37 pmMeans you are above 70% threshold but the sooner your status turns to ranking the more chance you have to win the callsyntactician wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:33 pm
Mine too, and it also turned to RANKING today.
So based on the discussions in this thread and the ones from previous MSCA cycles, it looks like turning to RANKING means getting more than 80% and doing so early equals higher chances of getting funding. But this is merely a tendency and there have also been proposals who switched to RANKING early but ended up with less than 80%, right?
Mine is still evaluation!
By the way, as somebody raised the question about how it can be that there are that few of us this year in comparison to the previous year(s). While it'd be good for us if this were due to a (substantially) lower number of applications, this can't be it: according to my host institution, 7044 proposals were submitted this time (6334 European Fellowships and 710 Global Fellowships) and the overall budget is €275 million, whereas last time it was 8356 proposals for €242 million. Not much of a difference, I'm afraid (though the pendulum slightly swings into our direction).
