Hey guys,
I just got an employer offer this morning! I wanted to share a couple of things about my experience. Last Friday, late night EST time, I got an email from a PST associate professor about a "GEM Fellowship Sponsorship, "CompanyName" and _____ University". Mind you, I didn't apply to this university and it is well past the deadline for applying to schools so I set up a Skype Interview later with him this week for clarification. This morning, when I logged in to my GEM account it said I was selected to be sponsored by "CompanyName" (even though I haven't interviewed with that professor yet). Also note that, I never interviewed/received any calls or prior emails(other than the professor) from this company before the notification.
The FAQ we got in November said most employers should be done reaching out by now. But the rejected letters officially go out March 16 so don't lose hope just yet ~
