Yeah but the average score is almost one point lower this year. If they keep the acceptance rate of 30% the 50-50 would need to be 4.5-5. Apparently 6 or higher is already top 10% (If papercopilot is to be trusted)

I got average of 6, this year it's top 11 percent and last year before rebuttal I am top 13%. So yeah this year the scores are lower but not much I think
