EmmaJeanB Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Has anyone had the schools they applied to confirm their submitted application to GEM? I'm getting nervous because I applied to 4 of the GEM schools in November and none of them have confirmed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxes Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I’m still missing one school to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you personally email the employer or fill out the form on the website? I emailed the employer directly from my personal email. Through LinkedIn/google, I compiled a list of names + emails of recruiters that I thought were either in charge of GEM for their company or could put me in contact with someone that helped select GEM interns. Then just shot an emailed and hoped for the best - it's always worth the try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, no. If you turn down the internship then you turn down the entire fellowship (at least that's what I gathered from the webinar). Definitely reach out to GEM and clarify that with them, then correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronSeoul Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 So I got my first university acceptance with funding but its not GEM funding. Should I email the school and let them know I applied to GEM? And even though I got in they never verified my University Status. I am super confused.

Infrarojos Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi everyone - If you have been accepted to a university, have they communicated if they will sponsor you through GEM? Just want to understand how the process would go. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaNB Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I just asked about the university funding today. The person from the GEM office told me to write an email to the GEM representative from the university introducing myself, stating if I have been accepted for an internship with a GEM employer and that I have been accepted to the university and then asking if he thinks the university would be willing to fund me as a GEM fellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to an employer in December and got a positive response. I'll be interning with them this summer. Was able to accept offer on eGEM about a week ago, but still haven't gotten an official letter. Hey, Did you go through the portal or through the company?

From talking to GEM this is the case, disappointing my internship offer doesn't fit with my goals/interests and would wish to just be considered for associate! too bad they dont allow this.

I don't know what the exact rule is, but I know during the seminar that they said the GEM fellowship was stackable. I think the problem is if both have required internships, unless you are GEM university fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestWilson Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I got a offer today and it states: The undersigned institution understands that they are naming this student a GEM University Fellow by signing this agreement and providing full mandatory tuition only. The undersigned institution can opt to name this student at a higher distinction, specifically GEM Associate Fellow, by further committing to provide a minimum annual stipend of $8,000 for a master's student or $16,000 for a PhD student. Am I able to ask them from the GEM Associate Fellow or do I have to take the GEM University Fellow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymartin Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hi everyone, I already accepted an offer from a GEM Employer but I have yet to hear an official response from GEM and the employer said they have already contacted GEM about it. Does anyone know if the school verification has an impact on this? Half of the schools I applied to still haven't updated my status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't stress too much over it. It took a month from me being notified I was selected to it actually showing up in eGEM. Hopefully it doesn't take that long for you though... tonymartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsuelos Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hey everyone, so I was accepted to one of the graduate school programs that I applied for. In the acceptance letter there is nothing mentioning the gem fellowship. Should I reach out to the gem representative at the school to figure it out?

Yes, you definately should reach out to the GEM rep for that school. Same thing happened to me and I reached out and they told me they are waiting for the employer selection process to be over with before they start issuing out funding.

individual1111 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Has Amazon reached out to any of you? My first interview with them was over three weeks ago, but they have not been able to schedule my second interview for some reason. Is anyone experiencing a really slow interview process?
