Hope12 0 Posted November 20 Hi IronSeoul, What do you want to contact them about? If it's just to make yourself known, maybe it would be best to wait until you've been notified by GEM that you're application has been matched. From the list below on the application statues, it seems like that's when the employer gets your information. That's just my opinion though. Maybe you can ask a fellowship advisor at your university for input on this subject. I got this list from GEM fellowship 2019 forum. Matched - GEM thinks you're a good candidate and matched you with a company(companies) 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hope12 0 Posted November 20 I attended a college after high school that was not in the drop down menu. Does anyone know if there was an option to add an institution? It's a bit late to add it now, but at least I'll know that I won't get selected because of it and won't be waiting and hoping for an acceptance. I didn't see one when I was filling out the application but now i'm thinking that I might have over looked it. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2020hopeful 0 Posted November 25 My status changed to matched this morning. Has anyone else seen any updates or heard from employers? It seems like the process started relatively quickly last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vitamalt 0 Posted November 30 (edited) Hey all, does anyone have an idea what to do in my case? I just found out that my recently accepted graduate programme is Gem approved, but the GEM application deadline has passed, and I would already be a semester in before the next app cycle. Is it possible to still apply the next cycle as a grad student? Defer grad acceptance or what? Any advice is much appreciated!

Hope12 0 Posted Tuesday at 01:36 AM Hi Vitamalt, Yes, it's possible to apply as a grad student. I'm currently a grad student, and I called to verify before I applied. I was told that as long as we have an entire year left of grad school we can still apply. You can call or email the GEM fellowship directly and ask about your specific situation. Hope this helps!

stafo 0 Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM Hi All, My status on GEM says matched as well as of 3 days ago. Looking at other forums the status can change frequently. Either way I am hopeful that we all get great outcomes from this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ayanah00 1 Posted 21 hours ago I am graduating in Spring 2020 and planning to start grad school in Fall 2020, have I missed the application deadline? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OscarGon1234 0 Posted 9 hours ago Unfortunately, you did. The deadline was on November 15th. You can still apply as a graduate student though! Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
