<p>so anticlimactic…</p>
<p>I am really hoping mid Dec. means Dec. 15th. I am sure that like alot of parents and students on here, we are going crazy with all the deadlines, applications, and discussions that need to be made by May 1st. Oh yeah, and that is on top of everything else going on senior year. Well, good luck to all! I will be checking back in on the 15th.</p>
<p>Even December 15 is going to make getting all of the items needed from the HS difficult, Arismom. So I am hoping it is even sooner! Or the deadline for the second round is moved back a few weeks to allow that to be done after the holidays. Everytime I see that someone has posted on this site, I am hoping they have heard from Coca-Cola!</p>
<p>This entire process for the Coca-Cola Scholarship has been shameful to say the least. For being such a major scholarship, even receiving the recognition of an entire forum on CC, it truly has been a poor experience this far. When results come out, I do hope that the people who deserve to be semi-finalists are indeed selected. Let’s pray they come out soon!</p>
<p>The process is “shameful”?</p>
<p>I think we should be thankful that it even exists…not nitpicking about the process! If it makes you that mad, then forget about it…</p>
<p>I have been following this thread for over 2 weeks hoping that someone would have gotten an answer either way. Nothing here and we’re in CO. At this point, it would just be nice to know. goodness! Well maybe tomorrow since it marks the “mid-December” point.</p>
<p>so we hopefully should be hearing back from Coca-Cola today…</p>
<p>I know, right? I’m super worried too ! Everyoneee, PLEEEEASE UPDATE US IF YOU GUYS RECEIVE IT TOMORROW ON THE 15th and IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU GUYS COULD ALSO INCLUDE WHAT STATE YOU’RE IN. </p>
<p>And maybe a reason why you thought you received it? (community service hours, national/state awards, number of leadership held in school etc )</p>
<p>Hopefully, everyone will receive an email (those who will advance and those who will not). I think they stated that everyone will be getting an email this year, and it seemed like that would be a new practice.</p>
<p>I’m hopeful for today, but won’t hold my breath. I’m also waiting for EA from GA Tech… sigh.</p>
<p>Why does everyone think it’s today for sure? “Mid December” is not one specific day.</p>
<p>I think people are just hopeful Mary…</p>
<p>that’s true. I remember reading somewhere on their site that notification of semi-finalists could take up to the new year. So in the next 2 weeks it will all get sorted. :)</p>
<p>Till the New Year? I wish they’d update in a consistent way; I’m not sure when to be nervous anymore, haha.</p>
<p>I’ve almost forgotten about this! Well, I’m going to Mexico for a week so I’ll just worry about it afterwards since I won’t be here to open the mail anyway. Have a good break everyone!</p>
<p>yeah, that’s typically the time period. The begin at around Thanksgiving and can go to the new year for notification. But this year it is obviously all set back and if they are notifyting everyone that could take time. I know what you mean, I’ve ceased to be nervous about it since it’s late.</p>
<p>I wonder when they will come out? I’m posting in this thread so I can get a notification when they begin sending out decisions.</p>
<p>I contacted coca-cola today and I was told that ALL applicants will receive an email this week. Only semifinalists will receive notification by postal mail. The country is divided up into 10 regions. Initial applications compete only with those in their region. Good luck everyone, the waiting is almost over.</p>
<p>Well that is sure to ruin a few Christmas weekends!</p>
<p>semi finalist. just got the email.</p>
<p>Semifinalist. 84,000 applied.</p>
