Coca cola is notorious for missing the dates they set out to meet, so it's no surprise unfortunately.

Congratulations ---!
You have been selected as a Semifinalist in the Coca-Cola Scholars Program. Because so few of the total number of applicants (nearly 84,000) for the Coca-Cola Scholars Program are advanced as Semifinalists, we consider this an outstanding achievement. As one of 2,200 Semifinalists, we hope that you see your selection as affirmation of your ability to distinguish yourself academically and personally.

Next Steps: (to ensure prompt receipt of your materials, do not delay dowloading the forms and notifying counselors and recommendors.)

Your next step is to download, complete, and submit the Semifinalist forms below. This information presents an opportunity for you to elaborate further on the activities and accomplishments referenced in your initial application.
Form A - Semifinalist Instructions/Checklist

Form B - Biographical Questionnaire & Essay

Form C - Secondary School Report (must be submitted with official transcript)

Form D1 - Academic Recommendation

Form D2 - Personal Recommendation

Complete, print, and save all Semifinalist forms (ask recommenders to save copies)
Submit all completed forms in one package, POSTMARKED BY JANUARY 18, 2012:
Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation

Semifinalist Selection Committee

One Coca Cola Plaza, NAT 7

Atlanta, GA 30313

Notification informing you of the reading committee's decision will be mailed in early February, 2012. Those selected as Coca-Cola Scholars must attend the Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend (April 12-15, 2012) at the Scholars Foundation's expense during which time you will interview for one of 50 National Scholar awards of $20,000. The remaining 200 Scholars will receive Regional Scholar awards valued at $10,000.

On behalf of your local Coca-Cola Bottler, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and the entire Coca-Cola system, I salute you for your hard work and dedication.

Sincerely,

Mark

J. Mark Davis, President
Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Inc.
One Coca Cola Plaza

Haha yeah sadly I calculated that chance, too haha.

It's just crazy though! I didn't get a local high school scholarship today; it went to someone with terrible grades... :/ But now I feel a million times better!

Help!

I was selected as a Semifinalist, but I don't remember what ECs I put for the initial application. Since I can't see what I wrote before, I'm worried that the people reviewing my application will think I'm lying if I add in an EC that I didn't mention before. I feel like emailing them and asking to see my initial application. Anyone else in the same boat?

Studford (haha) -

I'm sure a lot of people are in the same situation. What I did was I screencapped my entire application. I'd recommend that for future scholarships you apply for. But don't worry too much...as long as you are truthful, it should match up well enough. And for all I know, they may not even look at the original.

...I'm in complete shock lol. My number one school gave me no merit scholarships and on top of that I didn't get into the honors program. Can I put this as an honor/award for applications?
