No, I'm referring to the applicant FAQ they sent out closer to the last week of November.
-
I went from "matched" to "unmatched" for about 24-30 hours? Then I went back to "matched" and have been on "held" for a while until today were I am seeing "matched". It really shows that the website means nothing but I can't help but check ?
-
Has anyone ever gone from Held -> Matched, instantly? I'm so confused and its hard to not it constantly. I wish they did not remove out ability to check what employer has our application cause I'm wondering if it has changed now.
-
I also have the "No application cycle" message and I'm pretty sure that I'm in the system successfully so I don't think it is anything to worry about. They have been making changes to the website recently. I've gone from Held -> Matched, which isn't supposed to happen. They sent out an email to say that we should essentially disregard everything related to employers on the application page.

Steps found from previous forums: Matched - GEM thinks you're a good candidate and matched you with a company(companies) {So it seems like GEM makes initial contact which makes sense as to why we provide rankings and location preferences to GEM} Held - A company is reviewing your credentials and is considering an interview extension Release - if you went from Held to Release then the company was looking at you, but decided to pick another scholar. (This can happen after an interview also). Accepted - You got a company sponsor! Congrats!

To my understanding the process is one employer at a time and you must accept the offer that you get or you turn down the entire fellowship.

I'm applying for power concentrations (power electronics, power systems). AE as in audio engineering or?
-
This exact thing happened to me today. I guess this is why they sent out that "Applicant FAQ" email recently telling us to ignore the employer status. I'm going to try my best to just not check the GEM website. I hope any employers will just email me before calling (if I'm lucky enough to get any contact ;~;)
-
Yep EE! That school has been emailing me a lot but unfortunately they do not have the concentration I am going for. At least now I don't feel bad about ignoring the email since its a mass send out.
-
I am wondering about that as well. None of the information sessions that I have attended mention any sort of ranking system. Maybe it is because I have been "matched", but it seems like a lot of people get matched early so I am not sure. Has anything else been matched to Oak Ridge National Laboratory? Have you heard anything from them yet?

Hi Everyone, First time posting/commenting here. I was wondering if anyone has received a similar email from a GEM University Representative, "As a former GEM fellow, I noticed that you are one of the top applicants in the GEM database. To that, I must say: CONGRATULATIONS!!!" I'm trying to figure out if this is just a generic email or if this is actually true? How would a former GEM fellow even have this information?
