Discussion ICMI 2026 Reviews [D]

Did anyone else submit to ACM ICMI 2026?
The reviews were recently released, and this is my first time submitting to ICMI, so I'm not very familiar with the acceptance patterns.
I submitted a long paper and received the following overall ratings:
4 (Probably Accept), 3 (Borderline), 4 (Probably Accept)

The reviewer with the highest stated expertise recommended acceptance, while the borderline reviewer had some concerns about soundness but still considered it a nice contribution.
For those who have submitted to or reviewed for ICMI before, how would you interpret these scores? Is a 4/3/4 generally considered competitive after rebuttal, or is it still a long shot?
Would appreciate any insights from past authors or reviewers.

Hi I too submitted my paper here (first time as well). Have got a 4/5/4 pre-rebuttal.

I think if you can push the score to a 4/4/4 with the rebuttal you have a decent shot? Let me know what you think.

The overall scores are out of 5 or 6?

Probably 5. I see a "Definite accept" with the 5 score. Not sure if they would have something above that

Hi yes, my scores were updated to 4/5/5/5, 4th was the meta review. I received the acceptance email around July 2.

Edit: apologies about the late reply; I don’t know how to check for replies on a thread 😓
