After scoring all criteria for an application, you select a recommendation. This is your overall judgment on what should happen next with the applicant.
|
|
|
|
## The Four Options
|
|
|
|
You choose one recommendation from a dropdown on the **Final Recommendation** screen:
|
|
|
|
* **Advance to Next Stage** -- you believe this applicant should move forward in the process. Use this when the application or interview performance meets or exceeds the bar for the current stage.
|
|
* **Hold for Further Review** -- you are not ready to recommend advancing or declining. Use this when you see potential but have concerns that need committee discussion, or when the applicant falls in a borderline zone where additional input from other reviewers would help.
|
|
* **Decline Application** -- you believe this applicant should not continue. Use this when the application clearly does not meet the criteria for the cohort, or when significant concerns emerged during the review.
|
|
* **Undecided** -- you have not formed a recommendation yet. This is the default state. You must change it to one of the other three options before you can submit your review.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::warning
|
|
You cannot submit your review while the recommendation is set to **Undecided**. All criteria must be scored and a recommendation selected before the **Submit Review** button becomes active.

## The Recommendation Screen
|
|
|
|
When you click **Proceed to Recommendation** after scoring, you see:
|
|
|
|
* **Your total score** and percentage in the top right
|
|
* **Recommendation dropdown** -- select your choice here
|
|
* **Score summary** -- a breakdown of each criterion with your score
|
|
* **Overall notes** -- a free-text area for your overall assessment of the applicant
|
|
|
|
The score summary is read-only at this point (go back to scoring to change individual scores). The recommendation and overall notes can be edited freely before submission.
|
|
|
|
## Changing Your Recommendation After Submission
|
|
|
|
Once you submit, your scores and notes are locked. However, if the review is for the application's current stage, you can still change your recommendation. On the read-only review screen, click the **Change** button next to your current recommendation. A modal asks you to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Select a new recommendation
|
|
2. Provide a reason for the change
|
|
|
|
The change is recorded with a timestamp and your reason. A full history of recommendation changes is visible below the current recommendation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Recommendation changes are only available while the application is still at the stage you reviewed. Once the application advances to a later stage, your earlier recommendation becomes fully locked.

## How Recommendations Factor Into Decisions
|
|
|
|
Your recommendation is one input among potentially several reviewers. Cohort administrators see all reviewer recommendations alongside consensus scores when making decisions on the **Decisions** tab. A pattern of "advance" recommendations supports moving an applicant forward, while mixed recommendations (some "advance," some "hold") typically trigger committee discussion.
|
|
|
|
The final decision -- accept, waitlist, or decline -- is made by the cohort admin, not determined automatically by reviewer recommendations.
