<p>I’m from Seattle WA and have heard back.</p>
<p>Semifinalist! I’m on the west coast and received the email 3:48 PM</p>
<p>Semifinalist! Arizona, 3:48 pm as well.</p>
<p>In West Virginia…no email yet of any kind. Assuming not selected and will receive a thank you for applying email during the week. I was hopeful until I read all the posts that have received theirs.</p>
<p>So, if we haven’t gotten an email by now, we can assume we’ve been rejected?</p>
<p>Not necessarily, I am only applying those thoughts to myself. Good luck.</p>
<p>I have not yet received an email either…</p>
<p>I was just notified today as a semifinalist 
- Should I list this as one of the 5 awards on the Common App? I’m thinking of replacing National AP scholar with this award instead.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Has anyone from California revived a notification?</p>
<p>I don’t think emails get staggered by region But Washington has been notified already…</p>
<p>Anyone from Texas heard anything?</p>
<p>anyone from Ohio heard anything?</p>
<p>hope2help - I live in Ohio and my dd received notification that she is a semifinalist last night, about the same time as the rest.</p>
<p>NYer here. my son recieved his last night. ( he made it is a semi…) if it helps anyone he had great SATs (1520 perfect Math) and his grades were great probably like most in here. He was light on community service if you ask me ( he had some but not a ton). He did spend last summer interning at a heart hospital doing heart research so I think that may have helped. Its all subjective I think</p>
<p>I’m from CA (specially LA) and I heard back at 3:48</p>
<p>Just wanted to post this again, since I think many people have the same question: Should we list this as one of the 5 awards on the Common App? I’m thinking of replacing National AP scholar with this award instead.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Anybody from iowa heard yet? Havent even gotten a rejection email :/</p>
<p>Still no reply from coca-cola… florida people? im guessing they did send the semifinalists their emails first since there hasnt been a single rejection on this forum yet and there were 86000 applicants.</p>
