<p>Not sure what to make of that. Why would a “test list” have names on it and not be “official” names. Perhaps again I have a bit of restored hope (teeny, teeny, tiny) I can understand that they might not want to just say that the list was posted in error. I still think that’s what happened but I guess we will know soon!! I noticed on message board from last year, the same thing happened!! Wierd…perhaps they are test lists but not so convinced.</p>
<p>A test list? Sounds really strange. Why would they test it?..ok it works, now lets take it offline.
It seems like everyone is getting a different answer when calling too, for example a test list, incomplete list, a mistake. Its really not clear.</p>
<p>My guess would be that its the full list, and they mistakenly posted it a couple days before they were supposed to. They probably just want to send out the notifications before posting Finalists online. But you never know. I HOPE its not the final list.</p>
<p>I called a few minutes ago. The lady had no information about the status of the list… whether it was complete, incomplete, accurate, etc. However, she did say that finalists would be notified tomorrow.</p>
<p>Yes this sure is strange that something similar happened last year!! And I don’t know why they would be telling us all different answers they must know! That is a strange strange reason that it was a test list…why would they compile a list of “fake” finalists and post it online? that makes no sense to me…but I hope that it was an INCOMPLETE list and they add more of you guys to it! :)</p>

<p>What exactly did the lady say about the list? That she wasn’t aware of it?</p>
<p>dairy10 - im from wisconsin too.</p>
<p>do you know from the list what high school the milwaukee finalist attended?
i have a feeling it wasnt me…</p>
<p>we will know tomorrow?</p>
<p>No- she WAS aware of the list, but when I asked if it was accurate or complete she said she had no clue. She DID say that we would be notified tomorrow.</p>
<p>I wonder if its in the morning or later…if we are not finalists we still find out right</p>
<p>It’s accurate, I think they’re just legally bound to tell you it’s not. It’s like on one of the college forum people found a way to find out if they had been admitted 11 days before the notification date. When they called the college they quickly corrected it and said that it was incorrect. Well when decisions “officially” came out, it was 100% accurate.</p>
<p>Well, there goes my teeny teeny tiny bit of hope. Tyler09, I believed that too, but reading all these posts and you still wonder…deep down inside…you still wonder! I feel like a yo-yo lately!! Good Luck everyone!!</p>
<p>lol! ya this is crazy I just still don’t understand why it was posted early! And I called again lol and the lady said we will ABSOLUTELY be notified of our status by tomorrow afternoon and that we will be notified either way</p>
<p>listen… we all know, deep down inside our hearts (lol susieqz), that that list was it…sorry to everyone out there, but I guess we just gotta move on :-(… </p>
<p>dairy, again many congrats!!!</p>
<p>Well, see you all tomorrow…I guess we will know then (somehow) if the list was it or not. Best wishes to all of you, not just for this, but for always!</p>
<p>Thank you JaradW! And everyone else who congratulated me I really really wish that more of us could have gotten it!!!</p>
<p>Yes, Congrats Dairy! Thank you also for starting this thread!</p>
<p>tomorrow afternoon by what time ?</p>
<p>lol yea this thread has been fun and we should still keep in touch on it if possible! And the lady didn’t say by what time or that it would even be in the afternoon just that we will find out tomorrow by at least 5 pm eastern time because that is when they close for the day</p>
<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>A few last thoughts:</p>
<p>I think when all is said and done tomorrow, the published list will be very similar if not the same as the list that was released in error. That being said, I would not cast of all hope. There are only two reasons I can think of for why Coca Cola rescinded the list. The first of which is that Coca Cola wanted people to find out through the notification email. The second is that Coca Cola was not yet finished/ready to release the names. I won’t speculate on which is more likely, but I do want to note that if Coca Cola had the final list on Wednesday, why wouldn’t they have sent out notifications todays? There could be any number of reasons I’m not thinking of, but I also wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that Wednesday’s list was incomplete.</p>
<p>Anyways, I want to wish everybody good luck as the results are officially released tomorrow. Remember how extremely competitive this program is – it’s much more competitive than getting into Harvard, and good luck in college admissions.</p>
