Essays: Essays should NOT be written by the parent or guardian. The GEMS staff reserves the right to deny an application if they believe the parent or guardian has written the essay. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to allow their child to creatively write / draw (more information is provided on the application itself) about why they would like to be in GEMS. This essay helps to serve as a grouping tool and allows the GEMS staff to differentiate instruction when necessary. It is encouraged that students write their essays in google docs or Microsoft word and then copy and paste that into the application, this will prevent any frustration caused by "timing out." Timing out: Applications will "time out" after approximately 30 minutes of being open. Please utilize the save button at the top and bottom of the application to prevent information from being lost. Classes: Classes are based on CURRENT grade level. Students should not apply for the exact same class as the previous year if they were accepted. Applicants that were selected into a previous class WILL NOT be reselected for that class. To view the 2015 Class Offerings please view the attached brochure. To Apply: Visit www.usaeop.com/apply<http://www.usaeop.com/apply> : under the GEMS program title, click Fort Detrick, MD (MRMC-HQ). This will take you to the GEMS application. Teacher Recommendation form: This is downloaded as part of the application online. Don't forget to download and save it. Please give teachers as much time as possible to complete this form. They are busy professionals! Lastly, please do not call or email the GEMS staff to ask if we have received a teacher recommendation form. Please confer with the teacher whom your child has asked to complete it. If they tell you they have sent it, please believe them. You trusted them enough to give a glowing review of your student; you should also trust their word that they sent it in. Completing your application: The final button that you select will be a finish/submit button. Once this button has been pressed (it will say processing your registration) it will trigger an automatic email (wait at least 24 hours) stating that you have registered. It will go to the email address that you used to apply. Please check your SPAM folders for the email as well.
