<p>The scholarship is extremely EC oriented, and has no space for you to even put down transcripts, GPAs, SATs, etc.</p>

<p>Keeping that in mind, your resume is great, although all your awards are for academic achievement. Coca Cola is looking for students who volunteered time above and beyond.</p>

<p>Even if you were named a semi-finalist, I think your SAT scores/UW GPA would prevent you from going further.</p>

<p>I agree with Ivan. Your SAT scores and low unweighted GPA hurt you but you do have a gargantuan amount of ECs which should help tremendously!
Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>P.S. You must have taken a load of AP/Honor classes to have gotten a 3.4 UW GPA and have gotten a 5.0 weighted GPA…</p>
