GradStudent2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Did anyone apply for the GEM 2015 Fellowship? I applied, but was wondering when people start to hear back about possible interviews. Thanks!
Rho Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah I applied for the regular deadline. I haven't heard anything. I found the link for last year's GEM discussion in case anyone is interested. Edited January 3, 2015 by Rho GradStudent2015 1
oanise93 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I applied for early consideration and currently my status says matched.
kevinhughes54 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I applied. My status went from "matched" to "held". From previous years discussion. This means my application is "in review" by a company. Anyone else?
expandyourmind Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hey Guys! I applied too. My status went from preliminary match, to matched, and it's been at Held for about a week now. I read last year's thread about the GEM fellowship and still don't really understand what Matched and Held and Released means!
kevinhughes54 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 From what I got from last year, "HELD" is a good thing. Students are usually interviewed after they are "HELD".
oanise93 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I received a GEM sponsorship from ExxonMobil on yesterday and I accepted.
kevinhughes54 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I received a GEM sponsorship from ExxonMobil on yesterday and I accepted. What was your "employee status" before you were sponsored? (i.e. matched, held, released)?
oanise93 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 What was your "employee status" before you were sponsored? (i.e. matched, held, released)? It said matched earlier that week.
2Naqiy Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 i applied last year. major miscommunication between my university and GEM so i reapplied this year for early consideration again. I got a call from one company last week, was a brief conversation and the rep let me know they were about to review candidates later that week. Still havent heard back yet. My status still says held. Has been that way for about a week or so.
Tarikua Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I applied for the early consideration. I didn't apply to all three schools since I was already in the program. My school rep told me that I don't have to apply to 2 other schools since I was already in a program. I am applying to the PhD fellowship. Anyways got an email from GEM saying I have to apply to three schools or my application will be disqualified. Which I did last minute anyways. My employer status was matched to released. Does anyone know what released means?

Does anyone know what released means? Released means that an employer has put your application back to the general pool.

Does anyone know what released means? Yes, released means you are back in the pool. What is the difference between "held" and "matched". I imagine they both mean a employer is reviewing an application.
kevinhughes54 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 From the National GEM consortium: "With regard to your HELD employer status, GEM Employers are actively reaching out to Completed 2015 GEM applicants right now. Please make sure your voicemail is updated with a professional outgoing message. Please respond within 24 hours to any requests for an interview or other GEM Employer inquiries. You will see your homepage Employer status change from unmatched, to matched, to released as your application is previewed by several Employers. Do not be concerned with this status."
kevinhughes54 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Did anyone's employer status recently change to "released"?
mead-cast Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Nope, My employer status says "accepted". Still don't know what that means though. Applied: Univ of WA, Georgia Tech, UCLA Accepted: Georgia Tech (MS)
expandyourmind Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 mine did too, it was Held for a few weeks and then released
btsulliv Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Mine was "Matched" since the application was completed, but went to "Released" this afternoon. ;-(
attackonthedoctor Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 My status has been "Matched" for a week now. I even reached out to employer members I am interested in working for. I guess we shall see what happens.
