<p>Hey Mythbuster, where are you from? I'm in the Columbus area.</p>

<p>Hey guys! Join the facebook group "2009 Coca-Cola Scholars"! It's a closed group, and the admins are actually Coca-Cola staff, so it's official.</p>

<p>rayallen333: I'm from the Canton Area - stark county</p>

<p>Should/Can we include this on our Mid Year Report?</p>

25

<p>I am. I think it's pretty reflective of how our character stands out...</p>

<p>I'm curious.. :)
I have a question...did everyone on the selecting committee (30 some people) read the finalist applications, or were they divided and each person decided which they liked..?</p>

<p>Who actually had the final say in selecting the finalist? Everyone (discussion committee) or one main person?</p>

30

<p>Only 4 from my state, now I don't feel so bad.</p>

31

<p>ataraxis: I read from another post that two people read each application and then grade you on a scale up to 52 points (with criteria like academic strength, community work, leadership, etc. individually graded). I'm not sure if they actually did this...but that's what i've heard...</p>

32

<p>Hmm, that's interesting..I read about the points system, but nothing about who actually makes the decisions. Thanks :)</p>

33

<p>hm lol how did you guys find out?</p>
