Verdicts and interpretation
What our batch said, and what it means for the rubric
Loading…

This is a thoughtful read of what our batchmates voted, not a vote-tally dump. For each of the 28 scenarios, you'll see the question as it appeared in the poll, the three options on the table, the live vote breakdown, the verdict, and a "what this tells us" interpretation that connects the dots back to how the scholarship rubric should actually be built.

Three labels describe each verdict's confidence: strong (≥60% on one option — lock it in), medium (50–59% — defensible direction), contested (no option above 50% — committee will need to make a judgement call). Where the data is thin or unusual, you'll see a flag.
