[GEM Fellowship 2021]

To all the future/current gem applicants I just received an email saying I am now a GEM full fellow. I have not received an email from a company I can only tell who's currently looking into my application -- so technically I'm still "matched" not "selected." The administrative side of GEM has access to a different window. 

The application deadline was November it is now July. 

GPA: 2.98

GRE: QR+VR: 283 Writing: 2/6

Submitted my app to GEM on the day it was due. 

Best of luck!

Hello All! I really want to meet other admitted students and I've yet to see a post for VT so here it is. ?

I was recently accepted, Electrical Engineering MS (thesis-option). 

Does anyone know if there is a GroupMe or Facebook group for VT admitted grad students? 

Hello!

I was recently accepted as well for a MS in Electrical engineering (thesis -option). Also, I believe I've seen some of your posts on GEM. I'd like to add I'm also a 2021 GEM Associate Fellow. Facebook groups are bit easy to find all you have to do is search for VT grad students.

Has anyone received employment offers this late in the process? I know that email by GEM was sent about the Full GEM Fellowship eligibility, but my application shows that another sponsor is looking at my application so I'm curious about that. 

I have not. This goes to anyone who reads this, I received a sponsorship from a university -- I am an official GEM Associate Fellow. They sent an email saying that our chances of becoming a Full GEM Fellow are done. My GEM portal still saids Im "matched" with a sponsor, Im definitely going to be reaching out asking if they would be willing to sponsor me since I already have a Uni Sponsor. 

 

If you are in the same boat as me, I would suggest you do the same.

The seminar is today Friday, 22nd (7pm EST). I am planning to attend. I would like to get a better insight on how the process is going, how and when we get notified if we get the associated fellowship instead of the full one. I'd say attend if you have questions.

To the people that attended the GEM Seminar tonight: was it worth it? I'm trying to see if I actually need to pay attention to this or if it's cool for me to have this in the background. Thanks in advance!

Just a warning -- if you do not attend, you will be removed from the applicant pool. They were taking note of everyone that attended yesterdays webinar.

Hey everyone! 

An email just went out about a mandatory webinar. Make sure you sign-up! Hopefully we can get more answers/clarification there ?

The "Congratulations on making it to the next round!" shouldn't have been said lol -- I got excited for a bit. Who knows we might be considered  . Been matched for 3 weeks now

To all of you who have an employer sponsor match listed already, does it also show a university sponsor as well? 

Not in my case. 

 

To anyone reading this -- I've been matched for a week, I was unmatched earlier today; though, I got matched again this evening. This goes to show that your status changes.  Also ( a sad truth  ) being matched does not guarantee anything. Heads up though!

To the people that were matched did you apply by the first early consideration deadline? 

I submitted part one by the early consideration deadline. Due to my schedule, I submitted part two on Nov. 13th.

Under "basic information" do you have a company listed under "Employer Sponsor"? I got matched recently and there's a company on mine but not sure what that means. I haven't been contacted by them or anything. 

Yes I have a potential sponsor. I see it as a firm that took interest when they looked over your application, not too sure though.

Already? That was fast - we barely just hit a week after the deadline.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats and major?

I'll keep my stats private -- it was enough to apply. My major is Physics and Im applying for a masters. I'd like to add being matched is a first step, but it does not guarantee anything. Im pretty sure everyone on this forum will be matched this week.

Hello everyone! My status changed to matched, I don't know when this happened -- never got an email (assuming this morning?). Has anyones status changed?
