Manufan5 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 @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!

_theSCHOLAR_ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hey y'all! I applied for the early decision option. The employer member status for me is currently at "Held" (which is surprisingly early to me!). It was actually set to "Matched" last week after I got an email from GEM. Haven't heard back from any employers yet. Also, this could change to "Released" as far as I know, so just seeing what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_theSCHOLAR_ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 ALSO, as far as what I've read from past threads, companies that you may not have listed could have your application on "Held" so ihdk which company to reach out to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the university GEM members have to agree to sponsor you so you can become an associate GEM fellow. I think getting the email, and getting past this first hump, is good. So, hopefully one of the schools you apply to will want to sponsor you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITX Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 would anyone on this thread be interested in an SOP swap ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmags Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 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. _theSCHOLAR_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting (congrats? lol) Also, since you were selected did you receive an email/notification telling you the company that selected you?  My status is on "Held" and I do not know which company has my application.

Still no email but it says the company in the employer member status section. I never saw mine even go to "held". Did you get notified when it was held?

Also, if you still need someone to still look at your SOP, I can take a look. Just PM me a link to a google doc, if that's alright. I already turned in my applications, so I don't need you to look at my SOPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
