@bullishmom The questions they asked were about my involvement and activities, specific ideas in my essay, and then my goals in life. Good luck; it should be pretty straightforward, and she should just relax and be her natural self.
In terms of clothing, it supposed to be business casual (like most college interviews) or business formal?
I just logged in to the portal (http://connect.coca-colascholars.org) and it took me to the accepted scholar portal! Does that mean decisions have been released?
@creativecoder108 I just logged in too and I was also sent to the accepted scholar portal! I’m hesitant to take this as confirmation, though. I thought we were supposed to get an email first.
@jswani Yes, exactly – it’s definitely not a bad sign, but don’t want to keep my hopes up too high. It’ll be interesting to see what other RFs see when they log in. Either way, I’m sure we’ll have a definitive answer soon enough!
@creativecoder108 @jswani When did you have your interviews?
@ballin2022 I had mine on February 17th. Have you tried logging into the portal?
In 2016, I believe the notifications for scholarships came out just a day or two after the last interviews were held. Are there any more interview sessions remaining? If they’re all done with interviews, perhaps they’re now preparing the scholarship portal for the upcoming announcement.
I opened this link to the “Welcome to the Coca-Cola Scholar Portal!” @jswani
I had my interview about two weeks ago.
@ballin2022 I had mine February 16th. Judging by the last few years, results should be out today or tomorrow, it seems like.
It appears that the Coca-Cola portal has been active for others in the past, without them necessarily winning the scholarship.
@jswani One person makes a comment about seeing a congratulatory message for Raegen and not being chosen, but there is no indication that the Coke Scholarship has added Scholar portals who wind up not winning. And @amynguyen2017 confirmed the pattern when they got their decision, but I’m still being cautiously optimistic until I get an email from Coke.
@univbound101 Also, @YaleIsWhomILove made a comment but never confirmed anything. I was cautious about @amynguyen2017 because they said they saw the portal “a few weeks ago,” which would (I assume) be before interviews and final decisions had been made.
All that being said, we probably only have to wait a day or so to find out since they’ve begun updating the portal. Hope it turns out well for both of us!
Best of luck to everyone!
I just logged into the portal and decisions are out!! Coke Scholar 2018!!
Send a link?
@univbound101 It was the link they sent when they announced Regional Finalists. I think it’s www.connect.coca-colascholars.org/ccsf-semifinalist but I’d double check your email.
Okay, I just tried to log in again and now it’s gone back to the normal empty screen. Not sure what’s going on.
It goes in and out, but when I go to the scholar profile and go to View My Profile, it says Scholar Year 2018
Any news?
