You are on you on your way to your dream have you looked at FermiLab? Thanks! I have heard of FermiLab. The work they do is a bit too physic-y for me, but it is pretty amazing what they do there. Accelerators are super cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray92 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 @Moods What kind of physics do you want to do? I am sure you will get into a school? Are you published at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray92 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just curious has anyone been accepted a college or had interviews with them? Also does anyone have 3 school verify that they applied? I know it is early an it is the holiday break but I am just curious lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nait Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I was selected!!!!! I'm so excited and I didn't know who else to tell. Just to make sure, this means I got the fellowship right? There aren't any extra hurdles? K Alex, thejellybean and ray92 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to receive the full fellowship two things need to happen: 1. A company sponsor 2. Acceptance to a college with funding - from my knowledge this will pop up on egem portal with a contract. THAT IS AWESOME CONGRATS! Teaching Faculty Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom96 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hey so I had a couple of questions that maybe some of you know the answer to. In the application, I chose an engineering field because that's the department I applied to for my top choice school. However, I also applied to science departments of other universities. My questions are: Will the GEM fellowship only be offered for an engineering department? Do my applications to physics departments of GEM Member Universities count towards the three required? I tried to contact GEM, but realize that they are closed now... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray92 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) @Tom96 I do not think it matters what department you are accepted to as long as it falls in one these categories: Aeronautical Engineering Aerospace Agricultural Engineering Analytical Chemistry Anatomy Automotive Biochemistry Bioengineering Biology Biomedical Engineering Chemical Engineering Chemistry Civil Engineering Computer Science Electrical Engineering Environmental Engineering Environmental Science Industrial Engineering Information Systems Inorganic Chemistry Manufacturing Engineering Materials Engineering Materials Science Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Metallurgical Engineering Nuclear Engineering Operations Research Organic Chemistry Petroleum EngineeringPhysics Structural Engineering Systems Engineering  Physics made the list so I think your applications count toward the required 3 programs. I think the category in the application essentially are for the employees to indicate interested applicants in that field. The companies are essential investing into a future employee and they want to select candidates that are interested in that field of study so you will work for them after your specific program ends. So if you are interested in physics but indicated engineering on your application you should call GEM and see if they can change it so you do not loose out on employers. If you get accepted to a physics program and a company sponsors then you will obtain the GEM Fellowship Edited December 23, 2018 by ray92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious to find out if anyone one only had 2 letters of rec and has a sponsor or made it pass the initial round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only physics I am good at is materials science-based physics, like mechanical properties, but beyond that, I suck. I am sticking more with the biology side of materials science. I hope I get in! I hope you do too! And I haven't . Have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray92 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 @Moods That is awesome congrats!!!! That is awesome! At a national lab? Also I do have 2 co-author papers no first author. One step closer to getting a Fellowship! I hope you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!! It is with a national lab, which is my dream. Who would have thought?!!? And that's great that you still have your name in papers. And surprisingly, I didn't do an interview. I just happened to check GEM today and there it was that I have a sponsor and I accepted it. ray92 and sirTintin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
