Hi ya’ll so I have another question. Way back I applied to the Coca-Cola scholarship on a whim and forgot about it. Today I found out I’m a semi finalist, I was surprised and thought “why am I getting an email from Coca-Cola”, So obliviously I’m intrigued. How selective is this award, and how many people get selected as semi finalist (I am one obviously)
Congrats!!!
Did your brothers apply too?
No, I’m the only one @itsgettingreal17 I applied on a whim, and didn’t even think to tell them. I literally forgot about. Should I email the colleges of my choice and tell them about this? It seems like a pretty selective award. Would top schools be aware of it?
Does the semi-finalist status come with money?
Nope. But apparently about 85,000-110,000 apply and 2,500 semi finalists are chosen. @itsgettingreal17 I have to get an interview in Atlanta (at the expense of Coca Cola) at some point I think. So becoming a semi finalist is extremely difficult. At the very least, I’m giving myself a pat on the back lol.
Congrats, you deserve it! Hopefully you will move forward in the contest!
Thanks! @suzyQ7 I’m super excited! Is this something I should let my schools know about?
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Then start a new thread in the Coca-Cola Scholarship forum, where they are knowledgeable on the topic.
