<p>Haha, no, I don't know personally... that's just what my college counselor told me...</p>
<p>yea, I would like to know more about that as well. I wonder if you can find out from you college counselor ICfireball</p>
<p>I'll ask for more details...</p>
<p>Ok so...</p>
<p>The reason the Coca Cola scholarship really helps apart from the money is that Coca Cola is actually invested in their scholars doing well. As a Coca Cola scholar, you are expected to menor future scholars, etc. The Coca Cola scholars program provides a community of fellow scholars which is great for networking and can help with job opportunities.</p>
<p>Also, for those interested, the grading rubric from some years ago:</p>
<p>That rubric seems to place a great deal of emphasis on leadership and service in school and community. The essay is only weighted once.</p>
<p>that's good info. thanks.</p>
<p>yea, the networking and job interviews part sounds great! Now we just have to win lol</p>
<p>Hey icfireball, do you know what the average # of points was of the winner of the coca cola award? And what made something "excellent" on the rubric? Thanks for all your help</p>
<p>double post.</p>
<p>X_x college confidential does that sometimes.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about the average number of points for winners, sorry. </p>
<p>And I can't answer what makes something "excellent" definitively, except just something that is really impressive (i.e. national impact, etc.).</p>
<p>I wonder if you can find out the average # of points from the person who gave you the rubric IC?</p>
<p>I wonder if you could find out from your college counselor icfireball?</p>
<p>Nope, that info isn't available. Sorry!</p>
<p>WOW! I just stumbled upon these posts for the coca cola! they sure woulda been helpful when I was filling it out!!! lol is anyone else having a really hard time waiting for the results?! I know they haven't judged them yet but still! I cant wait and good luck to everyone!!!!</p>
<p>Well at least we only have to wait until February... Personally I'm super nervous. I just got a scholarship rejection from one of my universities and I don't know why...Which only serves to make me very self-concious.</p>
<p>I know I am nervous too!! I have never spent so much time filling out one application ever! lol I haven't gotten any scholarship rejections yet but then again I haven't actually won any either.....just like they saying that I am a semifinalist or that I'm not eliminated yet but im sure in time I'll lose a lot lol what state are you from? I wonder if we'll know right after February 2nd, or if they will actually make us wait til the 11th.....</p>
<p>Hello Everyone,
I wish that I could have found this board before, I too am a semifinalist. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>It was such a long application. I think they should really just give us all scholarships for just filling it out, j saying.</p>
<p>deadness on the cola thread bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>The Coca Cola Scholar Foundation is going to start reading applications next weekend. I got an email today from the Vice President and she said there was something missing from my app (but it's all ok now, just a little misunderstanding on their part...). She said they were preparing all of the apps to be read next weekend! ahhh...nervous.</p>
