Why even post stuff like this? If I were running EE, I would do what they are doing - skim the cream until close to the end of the year, then open the floodgates to fill the quota. I would not want to lower scores and consequently meet quotas by September, closing out some people with LMIAs or high scores until next year.
Hang in there. You can see from CIC's own post that a small minority of candidates have scored higher than 450. I believe they want to catch as many of those as possible in their nets, leaving spaces open for them all year, and will then fill the quotas with lower scores toward the end of the year.
