Select a Decision for an Open Application

If you want to review recommendations from other reviewers before selecting a decision, you can open the evaluation for the application and then select a decision on the Evaluation page. The decision can be a final application status or another status to indicate next steps. For example, you can change the application status to Ready for Review if you decide the application should go through another review process, or you can change the application status to Waitlist if you decide you want to look at evaluations for other applications before making a final decision.
