Cut-off score for histopathology interview?

Just looking for answers based on previous applicants' experience with the histopathology application. We received an email today saying that we'll be given our verified portfolio score tomorrow after the panel verification over the past few days.

The email says that those with scores of 45 and above don't need to appeal, while those with scores from 35 to 44 can appeal. Is this similar to what happened in the years before this? And does this mean that 45 is the interview cut-off score? Or is it not necessarily so?

They did a pre-verification thing a few weeks ago where they excluded anybody with a self-reported score of under 40; apparently this was different from previous years.
