I literally used the table templates from the handbook. I guess it’ll suck if all 8 of my tables are out.

It will be, if font size is less than 9.

in 9 pts? I think I had read somewhere (in the guide to evaluators??) that tables are not to be used to include core text. and if they are, that they should be discarded? has anyone seen anything like that?

ah! if you put information in the tables that should be written in proper words and sentences, the evaluators would have been asked not to look at those tables!

Yea, i put a lot in small tables allowing me to use 9pt. And narrowest possible margins. I think the crucial aspect is a level of compatibility with the host lab.

Really? The handbook and my NCP stated we should do lots of tables. All my two way transfer stuff is in tables (full sentences though).

Yes!! I had stuff in tables and took it out after reading that (in applicants guide I'm sure)

Font size was definitely 9! I made sure of that!

Normal text should be 11pt minimum and in tables 9pt. Of course 3-4 tables are acceptable but not all.

Funny enough I remember the opposite. Either way I guess it doesn’t matter at this point. Scores are in and we’re just waiting.

8 points. See guide for evaluators.

Well I definitely refer to tables for details. The core text is still written out with reference for details. Ugh could go either way but may be how they hit me for big points. No worries on the footnotes part though.

Whatever I’m sure I didn’t get it anyway so I don’t know why I’m even mentally revisiting!

I’m going to estimate my score as the mid-70s now. I was hoping for high 80s but seems unlikely after this.

8pt is too small if they print material, so i used 9 in 3 tables, training, risk and research methodology. For diagram i used 8pt and 11pt for the main text.

Otherwise they need a big zoom on the screen.

I guess the question is what does core text mean? If the text is not an important part of the proposal then why include it even in a table? If the text and the table is core part then that’s according to this rule it has to be written out somewhere outside of the table, but then it would be redundant-so why include it at all?
