<p>HOw competitive is the Coca-Cola scholarship?</p>
<p>It's pretty darn competitive. The first round is pretty easy, and you can fill it out online in no time. But to actually win the thing at the end I heard is really competitive.</p>

Something like 100,000 applicants each year. 250 get money.</p>
<p>wow i just found out that part 1 is due today. yikes, better get to work!</p>
<p>that took a good 10 min to fill out</p>
<p>it's a great scholarship if you can get it--can be used for tuition/computer/even grad school if you want...umm...if you make it to the essay round...the essays are great practice for other scholarship/college essays as most themes are the same...hint, hint...</p>
<p>haha nice</p>
<p>when do we find out if we made it?</p>
<p>in December. or maybe the essays will be due in December..</p>
<p>is it easy to make it through the first round, cuz i read on there that only 1000 or so semifinalist are chosen.</p>
<p>after that is the round with essays right?</p>
<p>I looked it up, but their website doesn't say much about the process.</p>
<p>okay, so you find out in early decemberish if you're chosen as a semifinalist (2500), and you have until mid-january to do the essays...not gonna get too specific on what they were about (not sure what their policy is for that), but your typical scholarship/college application essays...there are a few of them, but they're not huge. after that, they pick another 250 finalists (notified around february), 50 get national, 200 get regional, and it's decided at the weekend in atlanta, which is around spring break.</p>
<p>here's the thread from last year:

<p>I love coca cola!</p>
<p>What kind of stats do people who make semifinalist have? I guess that might be too broad of a question.</p>
<p>Has anyone received notification of semifinalist status yet?</p>
<p>I just got my letter today. Hooray! If you go on the coca-colascholars.org website, they have a list of the semifinalists from each state, so you can check if you haven't gotten a letter yet. Good luck!</p>
<p>where is the list</p>
<p>aww man i didnt make it</p>
<p>Lover 789 WOW you found out early.
The list says 2006/2007 semifinalists. Shouldn't it say 2007/2008? Is this the current list? I know you got the letter, but did you check to see if your name was on this list?</p>
<p>Anyway, congratulations and good luck with your essays etc.</p>
<p>ooooh man now i'm nervous!!!</p>
<p>but i don't want to check that list until i know if it's the current year's semifinalists or not...</p>
<p>ARGH I AM SO NERVOUS.</p>
<p>I think it is because I recongized some people's names...but idk maybe not</p>
