Hi guys!
I was one of the people who was following the forum "from the shadows" hahaha thank you for all your information!!!
Do you know when was the deadline of the MSCA last year?

Hi! welcome!

last year's deadline was on the 11th of February.

I think, there are three types of Ranking

1. Main list ranking
2. reserve list ranking
3. normal ranking for who got just above 70

Good morning all my friends,

I am also still in Evaluation and most likely I won't get it based on previous years investigation...

I just want to mention that there are 2 groups of people who remain Evaluation currently.

One is a minor group like myself, CAR-LIF, kkk whose status changed to Evaluation early January and still in Evaluation without going to Ranking.

Another is a majority group whose status changed to Evaluation yesterday.

I don't know what is difference between these 2 different groups, maybe in the end the same..
But, it would be interesting how we ended up... although I mostly lost my hope..

I am sorry to hear that our hero Dreamer is still in Evaluation, but hope you can make it!

Me too... I had really a pang when I saw Dreamer's post...

I don't know if it's true, but it was reported that status changes seemed to happen over two days for some people last year.
So the status from Dreamer and PetetheCat (and others) can still be updated!
And in any case, it is confirmed that some people in Evaluation get it each year.
So in other words, let's be patient and cross fingers.

Dreamer, I also can't believe that you could get below 70 this year, after 84. Actually the fact that you are in Evaluation gives me hope as well!!

Do you remember what happened with your status last year? can you check your last year status now with the magic link?

Last year and jump from evaluation into ranking in few ours in the same day.

There were plenty examples that failed from higher score belove threshold. Lotary,lotary and lotary!

Hi everyone,

From my experience of the past years: ranking means you got above 70, evaluation you got less. Normally, they should fund all the projects above 70, that's why they do a ranking list. The evaluation process finished indeed around December, in January they made the list (main list, reserve list, etc). On February 4th the results were out, last year.

All results are sent in the same day, no matter the list, in the order of the application number. I don't know the numbers this year, I didn't apply, but the one with application number 1 will receive the results before the one with the application number 2. It takes many hours to sent out the results, there are thousands of applications every year.

Please check your page on the funding & tender portal, all the documents are there (project proposal, IERs, Ethics, etc). Last year the documents were posted before the official notification came out. I remember I knew I got the fellowship many hours before I got the official results.

Those who have been contacted before for their Ethics it means the EC is interested in their proposal and it gives them a chance to improve their Ethics. They might be at least on the reserve list.

Best of luck everyone!

Thank you for this incredibly useful information! Just to check: which documents are you referring to? In the 'Follow up' page, under 'Process documents', the proposal has been there in pdf all along. IF you could provide more details that would be great

Hi! welcome!

Thank you! I don't know if last year they got in touch earlier than 11th but I had a mail of my supervisor from 5th of february telling us that three new Marie Curie fellows were going to incorporate to the group... so I think either NCP knew earlier, or the applicants were informed earlier...

For some reasons the magic link is not working for me. Anyone with how to go about it the proper way?

[Elke]

People who changed to Ranking, can you check in the normal (not magic link) portal follow-up if your project still consists of 3 documents or it got merged into a single file? and what is the date in the corner of that pdf file, did it change from October to something more recent?
