How was the average overall score for my application calculated?

The average overall score is the final average score the application received if your application moved forward to the in-person discussion. The assigned reviewers (along with all other panel members) score applications using the scoring scale of 1 (best score) through 9 (poorest score). The full panel’s final overall scores are averaged then multiplied by 10, resulting in the score included on your summary statement. The top score is a 10 and the lowest is a 90. We do not currently release any information about how other discussed applications fared.
