An entry to get the poll back to the top.

SSA does not specify for which city you will actually be considered out of the ones that made the certificate from your availability list. People who listed "all" would check every city on the certificate because it was on their email.
The only way that you could know for certain is if you only had one city make the certificate. Therefore, the candidate with only one city on the certificate must be in the top 3 and under consideration for that one city. At least that is my deduction of the situation.
Any other thoughts?

The distribution above is remarkable.

That's correct; I have a good friend ( not on the boards) who is in exactly that situation. I believe that, what with the multiple locations for people, most everyone on the Cert is one of the top three for at least one location. |

Cripes, Boley - I never said "guaranteed." However, -- having done personnel work in the federal sector for 25 years, I'll observe the following: This cert probably has no less than 150 names on it. With 150 names, the necessity of OPM including "extra" names in case SSA has the justification for by-passing the top three for several cities is more than likely (not guaranteed) covered by the number of candidates who are available for multiple cities. Hence, the chances that candidates receiving the ALJ Availability Letter are in the top three are significant. I've been doing this a long time and what is written in stone, to wit:
"Candidates referred on OPM certificates are ranked by score and veterans preference. Normally, at least three candidates are referred, with additional candidates if more than one vacancy is being filled. For selection, the rule of three applies. This means that selection must be made from the top three candidates on the certificate, keeping in mind that you cannot bypass a candidate with veterans preference to select a candidate with no preference, unless the supervisor can adequately justify doing so on security or suitability grounds."
...is often loosely applied on a list of multiple selections.

And Boley, what I am trying to say, and clearly failing to make clear, is that on a multiple cert you can serve as one of the "three" AND the "excess" or overages for other slots. Hence, the cert is likely to have, total, only about 3 per slot being filled. Makes most people's chances about 33%.

Boley I think you are right. I was told I couldn't be reached at the last round and I suspect my score is somewhere in your neighborhood.
I guess we will find out.
Now....on to round two.
