What do you mean you don't know how to control the politics? If you want a 1 then you should already know what your general reputation is. Do you think the people at your office know you and like you?

like

OP, your metrics are fine and if your scatter plot is good, you're probably a 2 at least. 1 is about the story and/or reputation with the people on the panel.

Depends on how much the people at the panel like you or your counselor

OP, think back to your school days. Was the hardest working or smartest person in class always the most well liked? Sometimes.

Definitely - just make sure your counselor has your story straight. Got a 1 last year with 88% until

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
