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. Edited February 10, 2021 by qeta

I asked them for my score and saw that two reviewers scored me.

bluesnow Posted February 10, 2021 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.....

I only discovered how to look at them today, so I dunno.
BRCR61 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Yes my 6pm ET theory is clearly wrong. Sigh. BriJaxRN 1

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.

I really appreciate it too. My imposter syndrome greatly appreciates that other people are going through the same thing.

BRCR61 Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 So should we call it a night, then? Hope they let us know tomorrow?
