TexasGuy Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone applying/ already applied? I am excited about it..especially the opportunity to intern with a big engineering company.
petr. engineering Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I applied early consideration and was unmatched until about a week ago.
petr. engineering Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Has anyone else applied or been contacted for an interview yet?
TexasGuy Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Haven't been contacted for an interview. I think that will happen in the next few weeks (if companies are interested)
Manifestin2010 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I also applied to the GEM fellowship and was matched about a month ago. I have not heard anything yet since there is no confirmation of the schools I have applied to in the database. I got an email saying I will hear from them in April once the schools confirm I have applied.
jimluis Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Hello guys, I applied to Gem and after a week I was matched. This week I received and email from one of the GEM companies (MITRE) for a potential internship during the summer. They called me yesterday and we had a small phone interview. So next week they will send me an email to know if I passed to the next interview. Crossed fingers! I will Keep you posted!
Manifestin2010 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Just got an email from GEM asking to call the POIs at the GEM Universities we applied to so they can update the database for our applications to move on to the next level nu Jan 31st! Anyone else in the same boat?
TexasGuy Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 congrats jimlus..i hope you get it Yes Manifestin...me too. Got the same email
MechE2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 None of the above for me :/ For curiosity's sake: what do your employer's status say?
jimluis Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Hello guys, I also received the same email. Thanks Double shot for the good wishes. So this is my update. I had the phone interview and it went great, the interviewer was just asking me questions about my personal statement and previous research experiences. However, since MITRE conducts some research for the government they require all the interns to be US citizen, and I am a green card holder. So at this point I do not think that I am going to get GEM. Event if MITRE through my application back to the application pool, I don't think that there is time for other employer to review my application and set an interview. My status is still "Matched" so Idk if other company is reviewing my application (finger crossed). I am going to try to be positive but I also need to be realistic so we'll see... Anyway I will keep you posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program: Human Centered Computing Ph. D, Computer Engineering Ph. D Applied: Clemson University, Georgia tech and University of Washington [all three for Human Centered Computing Ph. D], Texas A&M University [Computer Engineering Ph.

Manifestin2010 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I finally reached out to my POIs at the universities and every one of them have verified my status. No contact from any employer yet though! Still crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! Congrats, jimluis! @MechE2014, I think so far all of us currently here have employer match status. @TexasGuy, all the best with your application! MechE2014 1
MechE2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Hey all. So mine was matched for awhile then went to released then held for a while then back to released so not sure what that whole process was about. Best of luck to you all! MechE2014 1
petr. engineering Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah mine has been matched since December. I'm not sure what's going on, but apparently the deadline for employers to pick fellows is Feb. 15th. My guess is that some employers (big companies) might wait until the last minute to go through and make selections. MechE2014 1
MechE2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Good to know Petr. thanks for the info. The wait is killing me but I figure it all be over in 2 weeks then.
JerusalemG Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I applied for the early consideration option back in Oct. Sometime around Dec 10th (not sure exactly) my Employer Status went from "unmatched" to "held" and has stayed the same since. I didn't receive any email from GEM to contact the POIs at the schools I applied, maybe that could be because 7 of the 8 schools I applied to had already verified they received my application? Best of luck to everyone who applied! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program: Mechanical Engineering Masters of Science Applied: Stanford, UC Berkeley, Michigan, Cornell (M.Eng), Princeton, UT Austin, Northwestern Accepted: Stanford (will be interviewing for funding), UT Austin (no word on funding) Waiting to Hear: UC Berkeley, Michigan, Cornell (M.Eng), Princeton, Northwestern
MechE2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Nothing on my end. Employer status still says 'released' and 9/11 schools have verified me. How about you?
petr. engineering Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Still Matched and waiting.. I talked to the GEM rep at my school and she told me that Feb 15th is a soft deadline for companies. So we may in fact be waiting much longer than I had hoped.
MajorLaser18 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 If you applied for the GEM doctoral fellowship, but were accepted into a Masters Program at university after applying to the PhD program, are you disqualified for the fellowship?
Manifestin2010 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Still Matched and waiting.. I talked to the GEM rep at my school and she told me that Feb 15th is a soft deadline for companies. So we may in fact be waiting much longer than I had hoped. Same here....still waiting......
petr. engineering Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) If you applied for the GEM doctoral fellowship, but were accepted into a Masters Program at university after applying to the PhD program, are you disqualified for the fellowship? To my understanding, it would be up to the company to decide whether or not they would still like to sponsor you. Master's applicant's are more attractive because the company sees a ROI much sooner than with a PhD student. I don't think your situation would be a problem for most employers, but it depends on what they need. Edited February 9, 2014 by petr. engineering
jimluis Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 No, I am still waiting. My status is still matched tho! But I have no idea of what is going on.
Manifestin2010 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 No, I am still waiting. My status is still matched tho! But I have no idea of what is going on. Same here....matched and waiting!
