Beyond the original cut made on resumes, will additional applicants be cut as a result of the interview and exam? Or will they receive a less-favorable ranking but, nevertheless, be on the list? If everybody post-resume gets listed, then which will be a more important determinative factor for hiring: geographic flexibility or the score?

Not too sure but in the old days, if you went through all parts, you got a score and were on the register, unless you had a cumulative less than 70. I would guess that if you are this far along, you will get a score and be placed on the register.
But only a guess....

At least this is what happened in 90's when the freeze came in. As to today and OPM, I can't promise that. Still I suspect this will happen.

I agree; I think that is how they will do it this time around as well.

Most everyone I've talked to believes that all of those who complete all three parts of the exam process will be on the register. Some think however that if you fail to meet a certain minimum score that your name will not appear. For example, if you had the lowest score on the application, and then really did poorly on the WD and SI, you might not make a certain minimum like 70 for example. Either way though, almost everyone should be on the list.
If you don't get a high enough score you're not going anywhere so in that sense the score is most important. But if you list a city where they aren't hiring, your high score will do you no good and in that sense your choice of cities is most important. In short, you need to be available to move to a city where they have open positions but you won't get there unless you also have a high score.

Some folks say 175 new Social Security judges may be hired.
In the unlikely event the budget allows that sort of call up, OPM could simply ship a master list of 525 names (3 names for every opening) over to the Agency.
That would leave an untapped list of 125 names, but names that will never be sent over as there would be no need in the first instance, and in a year or so those 350 who were not picked from the 525 list would still be way above the lowest 125.

That ignors the fact that the highest scoring person on the OPM list gave as their only acceptable location East Elbow and SSA did not request a cert for East Elbow, but overall your point is well taken.

Some individuals may be on the top three for more than one site, so there may not be exactly 3x names.
