I can access. It was down for sometime but now it is normal.
In the document library you can find the documents. It was only one PDF but now three PDFs.

What do you mean?
I cannot even access my proposal since 30 min

I see

Still impossible to access I am stuck on this page after I click on the follow-up button
The same happened yesterday

Change browser or try to log in with private mode.
Always happens to me, especially at phone :/

What a shame... I am so sorry to read this. This is a very competitive and demanding process. I don't understand how some supervisors can leave the applicant alone. MSCA application process is supposed to be a team effort.

The funny thing (actually, it's sad), is that the supervisor said "I will also check part B2 and send the revision in a few days"... She's still waiting to get that revision. Not a word in five months from the potential future supervisor.

The same PI was also my sponsor to apply to the ERC-stg with the same host institution, and of course they offered to review my proposal... But I've never received anything, just a "sorry, I was too busy" well after the deadline. I am not sure if I'd like to apply again with that host, they just don't care.

That's a huge red flat for me... Support is key.

I agree. If your supervisor doesn't read through your application and doesn't provide feedback, that would be a giant red flag for me and I wouldn't submit. I also wouldn't want to work in their lab in the future. My supervisor read my application 3 times with specific feedback.

To add to this: i know someone who submitted last year without any feedback from their supervisor. They, unfortunately, were rejected. Anyway, when they got rejected, their supervisor didn't even reach out to say "I'm so sorry! It will be better next time". It seemed like the supervisor didn't even care. This promising scientist didn't apply this year.

Really sad. How can she make a strong proposal if the host do not take time to help with the data from his own institution.
Mine send me a lot (two many) details to help me write it. It was very useful.

That's also why I'm here obsessing with getting the results even if I actually didn't apply this year... Since she got only my review I kinda feel responsible

Yeah, my impression is that some PIs/hosts really behave like they're doing you a favor to even agree to host you, despite the fact that they're basically getting a postdoc free of charge

Can someone please post the cut off scores of 2019 and 2020
