2021 Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (HE-MSCA-PF-2021)

[UKR]

Today morning before going to office I checked it was submission and after one hour I checked it was ranking. I am not sure how much time it took from submission to reach to ranking.

Seems to be true finding.

Last year I ranked and then obtained score 78.

Did you have a fast change or change happen a few hours later after evaluation?

I cant agree with 70 at least. Because most of the cases between 70 to 85 remained in evaluation.

If you're ranked, it meant you scored from 70 and above.

If I remember correctly, the status madness started in the morning. I had the first status change at 15:00 and I ranked at 17:30 or so. You can check in the last year post. My user was HQA_MSCA (I do not know why this year I am not able to recover that user name).

I got the same idea last year. But we could be wrong.

Anyway, I think guessing only based on submitted/evaluation/ranking is a waste of time.

Which panel please?

Is 70 (3.5/5) not the threshold?

Well, I agree with you. Fingers crossed.

Just to pass the time, I am only thinking loud here: Things seem to be different this time around, so let's forget previous years.
This year, people say that they pass massively from evaluation to ranking within 5 minutes. So let's say that this is the time needed for the EC ITs to pass each applicant's results into the system. 5 minutes per applicant for the total of 8356 proposals requires 41.780 minutes. Every working day (8 hours) has 480 minutes. We divide 41.780/480, 87 days are required if it was to be done by one person. Let's say now that the EC has 20 ITs working exclusively on that. Each will need 4,35 working days to finish up their pile. Let's round it up to 5 days. If yesterday was the first day, the 20 ITs will finish the upload of the results on Monday.
Now, as far as the priority is concerned, they may start at the top of the scores (descending) or at the bottom of scores (ascending), but they may also pass the results per panel (as it was suggested), or even per country, or a combination of some of the above.
I think that at this point we can only assume that people with a score over 70% will be put into "RANKING" (last year these were more or less 70% of the applicants), people with a score below 70% will be put into "EVALUATION" and stay there (last year these were more or less 30% of the applicants) and those who currently appear in "SUBMISSION" will just have to wait until their information goes up onto the system.
According to this line of thinking we shouldn't wait for results before the end of next week, which is 2-3 days prior to the official deadline.

P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong. After all, I am in SOC panel

Hi guys. I have been in RANKING since yesterday when I checked at 4pm UK time. Don't know when it went to RANKING to be honest. Keeping my fingers crossed. Third submission.

One thing is for sure, this is a lot like a Lottery.

Every year I think, I won't come to this forum, but its a drug, and I come to check all the time

Ranking means, at least in reserve list as per my experience.
