So far the GEM University rep and I have signed the contract but it's missing the "GEM Executive" signature. No, I mean I believe every full fellow was sent an email from GEM with instructions to send a professional photo and their official transcripts by May 1. That's what I was asking in regards to.

Looks like it's going to be a close call. I'm going to call on Wednesday. Hey! Were you able to get in contact with her? I still have yet to hear anything.

I have an offer from CMU so while I'm sad about Stanford - I really can't complain I hope it works out for you! I'm disappointed with Stanford taking so long to get back to us though - very unprofessional. Edited April 15, 2021 by parky190 pm2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML Twin Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) 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? Edited April 15, 2021 by ML Twin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grad_738 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Has anyone else's universities had issues with sending the GEM contract in the portal? My University has been trying for weeks to get my contract to say full fellow in the portal but all they can issue is an associate fellow contract when I have an employer. Not sure what to do... the university has been in contact with GEM but the portal hasn't been fixed for me and its been several weeks. Any ideas of what to do as next week is the deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye1497 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Does anyone know where to submit transcripts to? In my eGem it just says "Official Transcripts: Not received" but I can't seem to find anywhere to submit to? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes so the website says the following information: "Official transcripts are only required if selected for confirmation. When sending official transcripts, please mail the following address once an applicant has received confirmation of GEM Employer sponsorship as a potential GEM Fellow via email. We recommend that an official transcript be mailed POSTMARKED no later than March 31st. GEM also accepts secure official eTranscripts emailed from the institution at Fellowships@gemfellowship.orgThe National GEM Consortium1430 Duke StreetAlexandria, VA 22314 " I wouldn't worry about the March 31st date btw. I think as long as you send it before May 1st you are ok. Edited April 19, 2021 by grad_738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more towards Full Fellow possibly because employers want verification? But does this mean we should submit either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
