We ask to accomplish a microproject before evaluating the proposals for one reason: to have a good understanding how well the students would interact with the project if they were accepted. As such, the microprojects really are about the flow of the contribution, not to tackle the project already.

Meaning: I would recommend staying with your microproject, in particular
if it is already in full swing.

Ciao, Johannes
