2015-2016 Coca Cola Scholarship

@starrynight20 NVM I see it now… on the instruction page of our application. I had not actually looked back at the instruction page since the first day! Thanks!

Did anyone’s recommenders get some kind of confirmation that their recommendation forms were successful? Mine say “Submitted” but one of my recommenders went back to check his form after he submitted, and it was blank!

How long are you guys keeping your Statements of Impact? Are they supposed to be like mini essays?

@trfox7 given the size of the box we have to write it, I’ve only been doing 1-2 sentences (generally the 150 character description I used for my Common App activities)

@smartypants57 yes, we will have all day Tuesday until 11:59 :slight_smile: So no worries!

Did anyone submit the questionnaire yet? If so, did you get any kind of email confirmation? Also, it looks like you can still view and edit the questionnaire after sumbitting… is this what the rest of you are seeing?

@trfox7 all of my impact statements are kinda long lol

@mediapr I haven’t hit submit because I’ve been afraid that I wouldn’t be able to work on it anymore

Are we expected to verify our grades for the “Advanced Coursework” Section

Is there any way to access our original applications for Coca Cola? I estimated some numbers there and want to make sure I use the same ones in the Semifinalist application.

I second @scholcol - what’s the distinction between “Name of Organization” and “Benefitting person or organization”?

When my recommenders were filling out the application, they told me that my high school’s name wasnt showing up on the drop down menu. I’m not sure what to do? They already submitted and said they wrote don the name of my school in like a notes section… anyone have this issue?

@tylerss call them. I called yesterday because my application didn’t have my email or phone number and they were able to verify they had all the info as well as my school report and recommendations.

@smartypants57 I don’t think there is any way to see the original. I was advised to print screen captures before submitting for that reason.

@brooklyn13 who knows? The whole application is redundant. What’s difference between activities and volunteer stuff really? And even the essays are kind of repetitive.

@tylerss the same thing happened to me. Just call the coke scholars people and tell them the issue, and they will add your school while you’re still on the phone :slight_smile:

@mediapr turns out if you go back to the website with your old application, you can still access it

@smartypants57 Do you have the URL for that?

how many impact statements have you all done?? trying to see if I’m going overboard.

@smartypants57 I don’t think that’s true. I went back to the original page and it told me that the application was closed.

@codeit my link has a bunch of ID information. I just searched my Internet history for it.

@baethoven16 idk I was able to access it just fine. I didn’t go to the main home page but to the actual link of one of the application pages.

@smartypants57 Can you post a link?
