Coca Cola Scholars Applicant Thread 2019-2020

With the launch of the Coca Cola Scholars Program scholarship for those of us graduating in 2020, I figured I’d create this thread to discuss anything under the broad umbrella of applications to the Coca Cola scholarship! So welcome, whether you’ve got the questions or the answers, there’s a place for everyone here!

I have two prestigious summer camp in past two years, but do not know where to put on application? Any ideas?

By first generation, do they mean parents only, or are siblings included. I’ve been taking college courses since freshman year, and feel really confused due to my personal situation.

@pineapplesSFL It means siblings too. And taking college courses since freshman year wouldn’t detract from first in the family to go to college IF and only if your siblings haven’t gone yet

That is interesting. Technically aren’t siblings in the same (first) generation? Wouldn’t the wording be “first in family” rather than “first generation”?

Does anyone know the chances of getting this scholarship?

Any news of when they will announce the semifinalist list?

I applied at the last minute but I know I will probulary not get pick because of community service & not having any work experience in high school

Just got a rejection email

Same, how do they decide semifinalists? I heard it’s done by a computer, but how do they do so?

No email yet… has anyone gotten a semifinalist notification yet?

My daughter received an email this evening that she is a semi finalist. It came through around 6pm.

Still nothing… checked span, promotion, all mail, etc. Any ideas?

My dc received an email this evening as well and he made it :slight_smile:

What time did it come?

My friend’s daughter received an email around 6PM tonight saying she is an SF. Another friend’s son hasn’t yet received an email.

They seem to have sent out some acceptances and rejections tonight around 6PM. I don’t recall them splitting them in prior years, but it seems they are doing so this year. They had over 93,000 applications this year.

My son received his semifinalist email at 3:00 pst.

Tell him to check his spam folder.

Got an email yesterday that I’m a semifinalist! Came in my spam
