Congrats @Poky!

Postby **mario_meissner** » 04 Apr 2019, 10:11

I got mine at 8.18 AM. I assume they are sending them out progressively.

Postby **Ben** » 04 Apr 2019, 10:15

Congrats everyone!

Try to enjoy for those who were not selected too!

Have a nice trip in Japan!!!

The waiting is so frustrating, I hope they send an email for the no-selected by tomorrow, or I think I'll die ahah

Postby **AsiaBergamini94** » 04 Apr 2019, 13:46

Congrats everybody!
Now starts the hard part for the rest of us waiting

My guess is that they send all emails regarding certain companies on same days, so as soon as I know that someone who applied for the same company as me get selected I surely start panicking XD

Keep the hope alive. Until we receive the "wait until 1st round finish" mail we may receive the mail.

That´s said, I´m quite pessimistic :S

Unfortunately me too :/

Postby **AsiaBergamini94** » 05 Apr 2019, 19:56

Any info guys?

I'm a bit stressed out right now. I just read the 2017 shortlisted thread and they said that the company number 30-41 just chose 3 students out of all the 22 positions offered...
I'm scared they might do something similar this year and select less students than the positions they offered :cry:

Speaking of that company, on the spreadsheet I saw that other Italian girls applied, just like me! Forza ragazze!

Postby **hidesagred97** » 05 Apr 2019, 23:22

They never cover all positions. There is a budget limit. I´m also quite stressed, but I don´t think I will be lucky on Monday. Lets hope I´m wrong.

PD: I found in twitter another selected, (for application nº 11). He was notified Thursday, around 15:30.

Postby **cecilia.miotto1** » 06 Apr 2019, 06:59

Last year my company didn't choose anybody for example, and a lot of position hasn't been cover (just 26 were covered). Let's see if we have some news on Monday

Not even a person?? We're applying for the same company (different positions) so this scares me even more...

But why do they propose so many positions but choose so little partecipants ? Also their traineeship are very interesting! It's a pity they can't realize all of them, or at least 90% of the proposed

Postby **Paweł** » 06 Apr 2019, 09:54

Hi everyone
I've got selected for position no. 20 (they mailed me 4th at 8:43). Since it's my first post here I'll indroduce myself briefly. I'm doing my master in Materials Science and Engineering. My name is Paweł, I'm from Poland and it was frist time I applied for ViJ. See u in Brussels.

Postby **mario_meissner** » 06 Apr 2019, 10:25

Welcome Paweł, and congratulations! Looking forward to meeting you in Brussels

I know, that's how I felt last year..I don't know why

let's see how it goes this time, last year at the end of the selection they sent us an email in which they reported the positions taken

Postby **izadiegizabal** » 07 Apr 2019, 17:36

Hi everyone!

I've got selected for position 11 at Asial Corp. (they mailed me the 4th at 15:47). Since it's my first post here I'll indroduce myself briefly. I'm doing my senior year of Multimedia Engineering Degree in the University of Alicante. My name is Izadi, I'm from the Basque Country and it's my frist time applying for ViJ.

See you in Brussels!

PD: @PawełI've blatantly copied your post since I wanted to say the same, hope you don't mind

That's really sad... Maybe next time I would reconsider applying for them...

Postby **mario_meissner** » 07 Apr 2019, 20:17

@izadiegizabal Is it black magic? You just mentioned Paweł without breaking the forum? Maybe its just me who has the curse...

Even sadder, considering I won't be able to apply again

I wish good luck for all of us

Welcome @izadiegizabal!! Congrats!

And good luck to everyone else. This is my last chance too. Lets hope for the best.

It's a new week, hope to hear news for positions from 30 and so on.

And good luck to all of us waiting!

Postby **MK16** » 08 Apr 2019, 16:50

I was wondering if any of the forum admins are still active so that we can get our very premium, "shortlisted" / "selected" group memberships and if there are any more hidden parts of the forum for those groups with more information?

Postby **hidesagred97** » 08 Apr 2019, 16:57

Can you see the Shortlisted and selected forums? I think that there is no more information.

But I agree with you. Without the memberships you cant post there.

Postby **ArthurK6** » 08 Apr 2019, 17:04

So, no info from Vij today, anyone?
If I remember correctly, the e-mail from center stated, that the matchmaking will end "after 08/04". So, it could still be going

Postby **MK16** » 08 Apr 2019, 17:12

I can only see Shortlisted, where I cannot post. I cannot see Selected at all :-/

Thats right. This was the email:

@MK16 There is a Selected Forum (I suppose that only shortlisted members can see). If they dont give you the "Selected" tag I can try to send you the information. There is only 3 post if I remember it correctly.

EDIT: I have just checked. There is a [YEAR] Selected threads and 3 information threads. I could copy the information threads and share it to you, if they dont update your status.

EDIT2: This was written by an admin in the selected forum: "Admin note: You can share anything you like in Selection since the forum is invisible to regular users and guests."

Postby **AsiaBergamini94** » 08 Apr 2019, 19:16

So it means that this was the last day for the match making and maybe we will know something by tomorrow?
Still I find very strange that none of the applicants for numbers from 30 and above have heard anything :/
Even someone else who might join the forum in these days...

Please end my suffering soon!!

Postby **hidesagred97** » 08 Apr 2019, 22:16

Thanks @Airdawg for updating the status!!

This old admin should get a kick in the nuts for forgetting this wonderful community and not taking better care of it. I apologize.
All ranks and requests of membership should be taken care of.

In case any of you lucky people are shortlisted (and selected) and do not yet belong in the appropriate group, you may request membership in your Usergroups page in your User Control Panel.

Hi guys!
I haven't received any email yet... I will receive an email even if I have been refused?
Thank you

Yeah, they will have to notify the rejection too.

Postby **Metuci** » 09 Apr 2019, 20:06

Hello everyone! I started wondering... is there anyone who has been selected and participated in VinJ two (or more haha) times? (Guess no

?)

Postby **hidesagred97** » 09 Apr 2019, 20:55

I think that you can't repeat.

@Metuci what internship did you get selected for?

Postby **danaekikue** » 10 Apr 2019, 06:36

Hi everyone,

I finally managed to create an account for the forum.

My name is Danae, I am an undergraduate student in the University of Piraeus, department of Digital Systems and was selected for position number 11. This is my first time applying for vulcanus and I am excited and anxious at the same time.

Postby **hidesagred97** » 10 Apr 2019, 06:45

Welcome and congrats. @danaekikue!!

When did you receive the confirmation mail?

Postby **danaekikue** » 10 Apr 2019, 06:51

Thank you!!

I received the confirmation email on the April 4th around 17:00.

Welcome Danae! I was also selected for 11 so I guess we'll be colleagues :lol:

Hahaha, yes! This makes it a little less stressful.

Postby **Metuci** » 10 Apr 2019, 08:52

@danaekikue haha I also struggled with creating an account

@hidesagred97 for placement no 6. Actually, they changed the topic of my internship but it was fine for me. I'm an undergrad (in Biochemistry though, not really related lol) so there will be lots of learning anyway

Postby **AsiaBergamini94** » 10 Apr 2019, 09:07

Congrats to all new selected members!

Did they ask you an interview?

Postby **Metuci** » 10 Apr 2019, 10:59

No, they just asked me to comment on what I think of their other topic options. In the end it was a little like a second ML

Postby **hidesagred97** » 10 Apr 2019, 11:23

But did they contacted you before the selection email?

Postby **Metuci** » 10 Apr 2019, 11:59

They did, they contacted me about this a month ago but told me to wait for EU-Japan Centre's decision so I wasn't sure about anything until I received an email from Vulcanus. I guess, a lot of companies select applicants but the Centre makes a final decision who gets the grant. That could explain a lot of placements left empty each year

Since we were applying for the same company ,(different position), and they didnt contact me I think that it is over for me. :_(

Postby **Metuci** » 10 Apr 2019, 12:18

No, they only informed me of topic change (which is because of their change of staff) and wanted to know if I am still interested in the internship. Your case is different! This company accepts a lot of students each year, so don't feel down.

Postby **hidesagred97** » 10 Apr 2019, 13:44

Thanks for being reassuring, but I think it would be weird to receive a selected email so late.
