Coca Cola Scholars Applicant Thread 2019-2020

I got my semifinalist email at exactly 3:00 PM so if we’re expecting it today, it may come at that time.

Results are in on the portal. I wasn’t selected to advance :confused:

Actually, just checked my portal and it says that I was not selected to advance. Still gonna wait for an email but I think that pretty much seals the deal ?

Same here :(( I wonder if they’ll still send an email saying i didn’t advance

Yes! I was selected as a regional finalist for this year! Omg!!!

Just got the email. Wasn’t selected.

Lol I don’t care. I got into Yale

I wasn’t selected as a regional finalist either. :frowning:

lol that’s the spirit! Honestly Yale > Coca Cola scholarship.

My D got her email yesterday afternoon (did not advance to semifinalist). Good luck to everyone who advanced to finalist!

Great work to everyone who applied. My daughter was very excited to be named as a Regional Finalist. The semi finalists from our area were so strong - this was a surprise!

Is anyone else worried that the interview is only 20 minutes long?

why is that a worry?

That’s a pretty short interview lmao (Compared to other interviews I’ve had). Kinda worried I won’t be able to give meaty responses lol

Have they posted the list of the regional finalists on their website?

yoooo I was feeling so bad that I didn’t get to the next phase of Coca-Cola but I just got a likely letter from Yale soooooo ???

Regional finalists are posted on the Coca-Cola website. Congrats to all.

Has anyone had their regional finalist interview yet? Can anyone share what kind of questions were asked?

aghhhhh! i’m so nervous for Wednesday. how’s everyone holding up?

nervous too @bluejayflor ! but i found out that the scholars weekend is cancelled this year because of covid-19 and that actually sucks.

instead it’s going to be a “virtual” thing that they will plan for in the future. but im rly disappointed about not being able to fly down to atlanta, eat good food, and meet so many new friends! the whole thing about the coke scholarship is really the relationships and connections it provides, and without scholars weekend it’s just not the same (and missing school to go there wouldve been nice too :disappointed: ).

ugh its just that even though we could always connect on insta and fb, it’s not the same without having met the person in real life. and of course i heard from previous scholars that they give you so much swag there like tshirts, socks, backpacks, and all kinds of merch! and we would miss taking pictures to look back on and then post on social media.

Dangg that sucks. How did you find this out?
