<p>For those of you that made it did you have work experience?</p>
<p>Has anyone got a rejection? I believe that they sent the semi-finalists today and will send the rejections tomorrow I’m not feeling good about this now! Didn’t receive anything!</p>
<p>Just got my Semifinalist email today during lunch. I’m from Minnesota. So excited!!</p>
<p>Semifinalist! Here’s what the email said:</p>
<p>You have been selected as a Semifinalist in the Coca-Cola Scholars Program. Because so few of the total number of applicants (nearly 111,000) for the Coca-Cola Scholars Program are advanced as Semifinalists, we consider this an outstanding achievement. As one of 2,000 Semifinalists, we hope that you see your selection as affirmation of your ability to distinguish yourself academically and personally.
Important Note: You will have approximately six weeks to complete your semifinalist application. With the winter holiday about to begin, submit the Secondary School Report (Form C) to your school counselor and the Recommendation Forms (Form D1 and Form D2) to your two recommenders before the break. This will enable you to submit your materials to the review committee in a timely manner.
Next Steps:
• Your next step is to download, complete, and submit the Semifinalist forms below. (Forms are not optimized for use on mobile devices.) This information presents an opportunity for you to elaborate further on the activities and accomplishments referenced in your initial application.</p>
<p>Form A - Semifinalist Instructions/Checklist</p>
<p>Form B - Biographical Questionnaire & Essay</p>
<p>Form C - Secondary School Report (must be submitted with official transcript)</p>
<p>Form D1 - Academic Recommendation</p>
<p>Form D2 - Personal Recommendation</p>
<p>• Complete, print, and save all Semifinalist forms (ask recommenders to save copies)
• Submit all completed forms in one package, POSTMARKED BY JANUARY 19, 2013:
Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation
Semifinalist Selection Committee

Notification informing you of the reading committee’s decision will be mailed in early February.
