<p>It’s the end of the line for me :(</p>
<p>But congrats to all the finalists!</p>
<p>THEY CALLED ME IN CLASS TODAY… TO TELL ME I’M A COKE SCHOLAR AND THE 2012 CORPORATE SCHOLAR !!! WHICH MEANS I GET TO BYPASS THE INTERVIEW PHASE AND GET THE $20,000 as a national scholar ! 
</p>
<p>I RAN AROUND MY SCHOOOOL TODAYYY AND SCREAMED EVERYTHING OUT ! And cried… Finalists should Private Message me so we can start a fb group or something and then possibly meet in Atlanta </p>
<p>And Semi-Finalists, you guys are all amazing and you will give back to your community in more ways than one in the future. You guys will shine wherever you go… You guys don’t need coke to tell you that.</p>
<p>Didnt get it 
Ah well congrats to all 2200 of us :)</p>
<p>@soccerandtrack, KJL3030 - Congrats! See you there… :)</p>
<p>To ALL - just being a semifinalist is pretty special. There are plenty of other scholarships out there (bigger ones, too!). Keep at it!</p>
<p>@tralala100, check your email. Coca-Cola set up a group on Facebook for all the finalists</p>
<p>Yea, I just took time to read the email. Hehe. So exciting.</p>
<p>ahhh i made it! this is so exciting.see you all in Atlanta!</p>
<p>Does everyone receive email whether accepted or rejected? Still waiting.</p>
<p>I’m still waiting for an email as well, I tried emailing Coca-cola Scholarship Foundation, as well as sending them a tweet on their Twitter account, but they have not gotten back to me yet.</p>
<p>Just curious…a question for all finalists:</p>
<p>Did you fill out every space on the form? How many total volunteer hours did you have? Or something like founding your own non-profit?</p>
<p>All my activity boxes were filled with leadership and awards. As for the essays (which is what I think they look at the most), I put all of the obstacles I have overcame …and then the initiative I took to better my life (creating councils, non-profits to help immigrants , etc).</p>
<p>I have a little over 750 hours…</p>
<p>What is a corporate scholar vs a national scholar?</p>
<p>I’m a semi-finalist now, and I need help. as the section that states, “list your top ten list and elaborate on number four” what does that mean? what should I write about? Pleaseee I need help. Thanks</p>
