Hi guys, it (ENG) just changed to Ranking but I haven't been checking the magic link today at all. So, it may have happened earlier today. Also, I saw that a lot of proposals changed to Ranking today. So, this may mean that we will get the results earlier than 14/02 ???

Also, I just noticed that the duration changed from 24 to 30 months (i.e., they included the 6 months of non-academic placement).

Are the results going to be relieved before 14 February..? It seems so..is it possible?

Not likely. It took them additional 10 days after the deadline last year and many people were in ranking already a month prior to that... Assume the "week of Feb 14", not the exact day

As we can see, status switches are made in batches throughout several days. Is there any pattern? Anyway, I only can notice the academic insane loop involving any grant call, though it promotes the fellow holder well-being...

I feel the results will be announced before14th February tho...

As for what has been said about experts checking and proof reading the proposals, and expectations of good results... I was working on this application last year with two top standing researchers in my field, one of them even had the MSCA fship before, so I got her proposal and one more for reference. Both proof read it. The science director at my host university ranked it very highly.
And then it got to a panel review of some "expert" who did not understand the proposal. They had one minor comment which said that our scaling of models is not justified and gave me 2/5 on implementation, which sent me to the final score of 75%.
Anything can happen. It's a lottery who's evaluating you... And the quality of your science/project is not at all refleced in the score you get (don't get discouraged by bad rating )

Also, I just noticed that the duration changed from 24 to 30 months (i.e., they included the 6 months of non-academic placement).

Wait, the same thing happened to me and I was beating myself because I thought I had made a mistake and could not believe it. Are you sure you did not check non-academic? If you download the proposal, has the budget changed in the form?

I meant that the duration changed from 24 to 30 months on the magic link. On the proposal, since day one everything was included (i.e., 30 months with non-academic placement).

I will keep beating myself then:(

Ok, I participate to the Fanta Marie Curie and I am on ranking, It could have happened any time today. SOC panel. My proposal is on a top EU current priority, top supervisor, top host Institution - I have a great publications single authored , work in policy and academia, Expert in my field, I am sure I did a great proposal and I am saying all this to Say that I am completely aware that despite all of this It can easily fail (which I expect), It Is Indeed a lottery, so hang on there and do not be discouraged by yourself as we cannot control everything! Good luck guys!
