To echo the gloomy shut-down day, I received a rejection around midnight
yesterday on the 1st submission of CAREER (one of the 4 programs under MCB)
For those who are interested:
5 reviewers : VG, G, VG, VG, VG
Panel recommendation: Moderate priority (out of 50+ applications, only 1
gets
"high priority")
I guess we really need 2-3 "excellent"s to stand a chance these days.
The ratings appeared on Fastlane 2 days after the "Status date" was changed.
