I agree with the previous theory that the scores are possibly only the scores assigned to the 2 recommendation letters. All the max and min scores posted here average out to the average score.

Yes, I think so. The application had more than two parts, so I feel like two scores could only correspond to the two recommendation letters.

I asked them for my score and saw that two reviewers scored me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesnow Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Also, it doesn't explain the 102 score someone got...I think it went between 1-10 scores for recommendations. 102 is an outlier.... In any case, 5:59pm and still nothinnnnggg..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only discovered how to look at them today, so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked them for my score and saw that two reviewers scored me. SSHRC has two reviewers, and if their scores differ too much (say, 10 points, but I can't remember what the number is) a third score will also be given. Just FYI if anyone was wondering about their process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
