Continuing the trend, if anyone is attending UCLA in the Fall and wants to start a group chat, message me so we can set that up ?
-
Im on the same boat, I did not receive a message or email about submitting my transcript. It seems more towards Full Fellow possibly because employers want verification? But does this mean we should submit either way?

I have a question, if I have been accepted to school A and have been offered GEM Associate and the SIR/accept will them is today AND I accept to school B and I am waiting to hear back from them. Will accepting school A's admission effect my GEM status with school B?
-
Nope, I have not heard from them. I think they will release their information by late april, according to their website.

I believe if you will get GEM, all tuition will be covered by the school throughout you whole PhD studies. On top of that, depending on what level of scholarship you get, you will get a stipend for certain amount of semesters/quarters.

Tbh, this whole process is a bit confusing. However, I will explain my understanding of GEM. If you get the internship AND if one the school you applied too awards you GEM, then you will be considered as a Full Fellow. But most of the weight is dependent on the school. The requirement to be a GEM Scholar overall is that a school has to accept you as a scholar, doesnt matter if you got the internship. That being said, it is good practice to let the school you want to attend know that a company wants to sponsor you as a GEM scholar, it can help nudge them to also accepting you as scholar. I do not believe the company will contact the school, so you will have to the leg work. Best of luck!

Its a good sign, but I wouldnt take it as a definite yes yet. I received a similar email from a school I was accepted to and I contacted the GEM rep and they told me that the school's internal committee has not made a decision yet. I am taking that as a they acknowledge that you applied to GEM and acknowledge GEM has determined you are eligible to receive it. Good luck to you!

Kevin Henry is the rep that I have been in contact with. Sorry if my post caused some anxiousness. I am a different case of accepted students. I had accept by march 3rd to continue. If you applied for Fall 2021 originally, you should be fine.
-
Sorry, I got more insight. So I am in a different situation. I was accepted Fall 2020, but deferred due to the pandemic. Since I deferred, I believe I was put in a pool of accepted students who deferred that had to sign by March 3. I think if you applied for Fall 2021 originally, you should be fine.

From my experience is that the interviews were more geared towards the internship. I did prepare in the case they asked me more about GEM, but they only mentioned that they got my info from GEM, so Im in the same boat as you. It makes sense, you are still interviewing to be apart of their team and they would want to bring someone who they believe meshes well with their projects and group overall. The way I look at it now, GEM was just a pipeline for internship opportunities.

I actually contacted them about the intent to enroll waiver, the rep told me that we all had to sign in it to allow more time for us to be considered for GEM. A person has to pay $500 to continue, sheesh, but I digress. He said that they have not made official decisions yet, but too look out for an email from either USC or check the GEM portal over the next few weeks. So tbh, I dont think we will be hearing soon, since there was someone else who said the same thing in this forum like 2 weeks ago.

I am curious if anyone applied to UCLA as GEM university? I contacted the GEM rep and I feel like I am getting an odd response. I asked how will UCLA notify applicants if they university will take them as a GEM scholar. But I was told that UCLA does not choose them, GEM does. But then she tells me to wait for the financial award letter. Does anyone have more concrete details about UCLA?
-
Can someone help me understand the process of being accepted to a university as a GEM fellow? I remember from the info session they mention that a University has to accept applicants in order to be considered for any level of scholarship? So does this mean, a university has a committee within in their own graduate programs that choose applicants. And ideally, how does a University identify you have been chosen by the school as a fellow?
-
If you are doing a masters, I know you have to do 2 internships with them. If you want to go to another internship, then you will have cancel your whole GEM fellowship

Does anyone know how long it takes for companies to reply to an application or how do they reach out to applicants? I just checked today and it says a company has responded to my application but I havent heard any word from them. If anyone has more insight on how they reach out, that would be great. I dont think the GEM website is that good, so Im hoping I was not chosen on accident.
