Oooh! Do we get bonus points for precarious mental health? That should bolster my application!

I wish I could tell you, but their scoring system is a freaking enigma.

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.

What do you mean -- that its just our recommendation letter score and not the rest of the application?

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.

Not necessarily. It may be that two reviewers scored your application. That's how it works at SSHRC. I asked them for my score and saw that two reviewers scored me.

That's fair.

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.....

Ooooh, good theory. It seems like the scores have been there for a while though. I only discovered how to look at them today, so I dunno.

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 have to say, I’m very thankful for this community!  Misery really does love company LOL ? 

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

So should we call it a night, then? Hope they let us know tomorrow? 

I'm still checking while knowing there's no point. So glad I took the day off from working today for unrelated reasons.

Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, what were your scores on the portal and has the status changed on there for you?
