Hi guys. The Coca Cola Scholarship just came out today so I figure I would start the discussion this year. Does anyone know what they are looking for? The application is very limiting. It doesn’t even ask for SAT. Any advise from past applicants would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
When we are reporting grades, it only gives you an option of A, B, C, D, or F. What if we got an A- or a B+? What should we put down? Thanks!
I would just put A for 90-100%, B for 80-89%, etc.
If you don’t participate in activity do you choose “none” or just don’t click anything?
Does anyone know what to do when reporting grades? My son’s school gives a semester 1 and semester 2 grade so do I average the two?
I am a little confused by the question about number of speech & debate organizations. Isn’t it always one- the school organization?
Also, cannot find a good spot for outside the school sports.
Hello all! Will be joining in on the process to (hopefully) become a Coca Cola Scholar! <:-P
I called Coca Cola and they were able to answer my questions regarding reporting grades and class rank. They answered the phone immediately at 800.306.2653. Good luck to everyone applying.
I feel as if my extracurriculars are inadequate. None of my stuff are visual arts, yearbook, or debate related??
Hey guys! Where should I put research experience on the form?
@Princetonian2020 - I feel the same way. Everything about the way this is organized doesn’t allow me to present my EC involvement in a good light. Kind of wish they just asked for a CV!
Yeah I totally agree! like I am extremely involved in things with my school, juggling with clubs, college apps, and ib stuff…and filling out everything literally most of my boxes are empty…or say none… >.> I feel like there is honestly no hope…
Putting the finishing touches on my application! I’m feeling ok, but I’m still scared. Good luck you guys!
Anyone else having a problem logging into the application? I have everything done and just need to submit…T.T
Yes I can’t acces it it shows an error
@liberrhythm I can’t log in either, but I already submitted my app.
Now all we have to do is wait a few weeks.
when will we get notified of the results? I know they said mid-november, but based on past years’ notification dates, any idea what we should expect?
@giraffeinatree Last year they heard around the 14th. The year before that was the 17th. So I would estimate anywhere between 2-3 weeks from now. They’re only going to notify the semifinalists though.
How are semifinalists notified?
