The professor ended up not calling me, hahaha

I have 5 rejections straight away. Can anyone motivate me?

Got rejected from NC State earlier... oof. That was my first choice by far so should make for a more interesting few months of deciding where to go ?

I’ll be turning down NC State today because of my offer from Duke, so hopefully the spot will go towards one of ya’all on the waitlist. Good luck! Also congrats to everyone who was recently admitted to other schools! 

I could be wrong, but I’m a little doubtful about the acceptance on the Results page given that the entire school is shut down today due to the polar vortex.

Congrats! I too was invited for a Grad Visit Day but didn't hear if I was accepted first. After doing more digging and reaching out to the grad students in the department, this is all a good sign that you are pretty much "accepted." If you reach out to the professors you mentioned in your app they may have already pointed out that they scheduled a time to talk with you on the visit day and that you'd be a great fit for their lab (as was my case). 
 
I spoke with grad students also and they said acceptance after visit days are normally 50%,.. or close to %100 (barring you aren't a weirdo or something)...
 
I know that is a weird range, but that's literally what a grad student from the department told me, hahahah!

So I was just invited to “Grad Visit Day” for a school that I applied to, but have not heard anything from them of whether or not I got in. Does anyone know what this might be and/or have been invited to a similar event without being accepted. 

Thanks! It seems like a cool program especially if you are into interdisciplinary stuff, e.g. intersection with Comp Sci. Just hoping the stipend is reasonable for CA..
Not yet - I responded to the email asking about a visit day, so I can post here when I have an answer. And unfortunately I don't know if they're still interviewing. I would guess they'd need to have some of the admits withdraw first?

Hi everyone, so after 4 months of being Matched to the same employer, my Employer Member Status was updated to Released today. I only interviewed with one company in February, and I assumed that they went with another applicant when I never got a response to my follow-up email. 
So, I'm assuming that the process is wrapping up. Fortunately, the school has verified that they'll sponsor me as an Associate if I'm not selected by an employer. Hoping to hear from GEM soon. If anyone gets notifications directly from GEM, then please keep us updated. Good luck to all. 

My employer finally contacted me! Yay!

Thanks!!!!! ? Feeling a tiny bit better about life. Just a micron.

Just got selected by a company!! Has anyone else? Do you know when you have to confirm?

Awesome! Which company if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly, that's really encouraging news. I'm applying to Phd programs with a focus on AI and autonomous systems.

Is everyone a PhD or a M.S? Just talked to GEM and they stated that usually if your a PhD candidate and made it this far you are about 95% to get sponsored by a company or a national lab.

Just had my first phone interview!

I just checked and my member status now says selected, but I haven't received an email or phone call. I was expecting to be interviewed before being selected. Is this normal? If it makes a difference, I have worked at this employer previously but that was over a year ago.

I believe they reach out to you. But that's awesome! I hope it all goes well!

@ray92 I was also reading on last years forum some people were on matched and then changed to held/released, so better not to get hopes up too soon!
