did yu hear anything
not yet 
I guess they’re not releasing today ;-;
looks that way.
how weird for them to not announce by the date they said they would. any hope we will hear over the weekend?
Don’t despair just yet @dugmat
Every year, the Coca cola scholars instagram reposts stories from people who just found out they are scholars (the day of notifications, not the day the official list is published). If they had notified already, we would see it on social media. They must just be late
You were right, @magneticgoriila
My son just got this email:
Hi, Regional Finalists
Due to unforeseen circumstances that have arisen since you were invited to interview in January, our final notification process has been delayed. We anticipate being able to notify ALL Regional Finalists late next week, no earlier than Wednesday evening, March 17. (Spread the word in your secret chat groups!)
Hope you all have great weekends now that you don’t have to worry about us for a few more days!
This is kind of a side question, but does anyone know if we could ever have the opportunity to do like an “application update” for this scholarship? Almost a week after the finalist interviews, I received a pretty big statewide award that tied super closely to one of the essays I wrote back in the semifinals round. I’ve been debating on whether to let the committee know or not, or even if I can let them know. I figured if they extended their date for results, it wouldn’t hurt to at least ask.
Thank you guys so much and good luck to everyone on here!! It’s honestly just the biggest honor to even be considered this far in the process.

No. I don’t think they accept updates and any point. Regardless, I’m pretty sure the decisions are made the same day as the interviews, at the end of the saturday meetings. It is already decided!

I wonder why the delay. especially since @soflowatcher says they decide the day of interview. Anyone else curious?
i wonder too! honestly i have no idea tho😂
Yes it was very strange to not release the decisions especially when we have always heard from them before the deadline. Hope all is well and good luck to everyone
i am not able to log into my portal this morning. are you all?
I still can. The semifinalist/finalist portal?
Can someone please post the link to the portal?
I can still log in too. I’m from California btw… I think we are our own district just one state. I interviewed Feb 27, which I think was the last day. Any other Cali kids on here waiting? Just looking for some commiserators!
