from my knowledge, we don't need to send test scores.

Introvert: I sent mine first class to the PO Box address. Form A said only to send envelopes to the special delivery address if you were sending very close to the deadline.

You definitely have a great score but your ec's arent strong. maybe you should apply to scholarships that highly honor sats because coca-cola isnt one of them. They want to see people who werent home studying for the SAT 24/7, rather extremely involved in community and leadership. i dont know the exact qualifications with respect to that, but dont get mad. just keep applying to every scholarship you can until you start getting them. it truly is a tough process. goodluck

I think finalists are notified mid-end February, but the Atlanta trip is a bit earlier this year. And there is definitely no need to fill in all the spaces. Good Luck!

Thanks MythBuster. Do you know when the finalist weekend is scheduled for this year?
Thanks a million!

for the letter of rec coming from the school is it supposed to address academics and classroom stuff or more of how we made an impact in the school with ecs?

I'd be surprised if the date wasn't somewhere on the semifinalist application because you HAVE to attend if you are a finalist. Last year, it was the end of April, but I think I remember reading or someone telling me that it was late March, early April this year.

Okay, from The Pilot News - Students are semifinalists in prestigious Coca-Cola Scholarship program

"As semifinalists, students must submit additional information that will be reviewed in January 2010 by a committee comprised of 30 educators from high schools and universities throughout the United States. If these students advance, they will be among a total of 250 Finalists who will travel to Atlanta March 25 through March 28, to attend the Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend.
During their visit they will attend a final interview process that will determine whether they are designated as either a National or Regional Scholar. The 50 National Scholars will each receive a $20,000 scholarship award, while the 200 Regional Scholars will receive a $10,000 scholarship."

By the way, whether it matters or not, once you are finalist, you are competing in regions. There are (I think) 10 regions with 25 applicants in each and five are awarded $20,000 and twenty are awarded $10,000. All those applicants have interviews with the same committee, thus there are ten committees. This really shouldn't plague anyones mind, I'm just throwing it out there.

That's good to know Mythbuster. Thanks.

Does anyone know what happens if you get chosen as a coca-cola finalist and can't go to the finalist weekend? I'm in the running for a full ride at a college and if I make it to the finals I'm suppose to be on that college campus on the same weekend for interviews.
