<p>Hey guys, has anyone received a non-athlete likely from Columbia?</p>
<p>Isn’t it too soon?</p>
<p>Been really curious about this as well–almost made a post myself before I saw yours. Has anyone gotten a likely letter yet? Or is it too early?</p>
<p>Just got one today oh my goodness I can’t even believe it!!</p>
<p>Came in an email. Not an athlete. Actually an asian male really heavy in academics. </p>
<p>Congrats swagdaddy.</p>
<p>Columbia starts issuing the first batch around this week and continues all the way until 2nd week of March.</p>
<p>Got one too! Can we join to Columbia 2018 Facebook group?</p>
<p>Wow. Certainly was not expecting a likely letter from Columbia out of all places. Also an Asian male with no athletics and heavy academics.</p>
<p>I also received one this morning literally an hour after my Penn likely!! I am also an Asian male, heavy in academics, no athletics 
Just 2 months ago, I thought I wasn’t going to get in anywhere, and now I am in a position like this? Truly grateful!! </p>
<p>congrats to the LL recipients. Now sit back and wait to compare Fin Aid (if you applied) offers. Otherwise, go out with a bang in your final few mos. of college!</p>
<p>Got one too So Happy!</p>
<p>Interesting. Is Columbia going heavy on Asians for likelies?</p>
<p>I just got one as well. What does it mean?</p>
<p>It means you have been admitted and you just need to wait for the official letter at the end of March.</p>
<p>It is also possible many of you will be named some kind of scholar when you get the admission package.</p>
<p>@Brianorex: You wrote: “I just got one as well. What does it mean?”</p>
<p>The message contained in the letter isn’t obscure. Read it and you’ll know.</p>
<p>Congrats. Are these for stem ?</p>
<p>I got one on valentines day, maybe so we ‘fall in love’ with Columbia, :))
Anyway, I applied for mathematics as a white male, so I guess they are giving them to prospective STEM students. Congrats to everyone who got one as well!</p>
<p>@T26E4 I read my letter. I’m not sure whether it means I’m definitely accepted or not. It says you can expect a letter of acceptance if you continue on your path, I’m wondering how certain it is. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for likely letter kids?</p>
<p>@Brianorex: If one of these things happen to you between now and March 27th, you won’t be admitted.</p>
<p>1) fraud is discovered in your application
2) you commit a felony
3) you get expelled or flunk out of school</p>
<p>Are any of those on the horizon for you? I hope not.</p>
<p>Otherwise, it’s 100% commitment from CU to you, the applicant. Got it?</p>
<p>Congratulations. In your hands is literally, the “golden ticket”. It’s no joke. People break down crying when they receive one. Perhaps one hundred out of 30K applicants get one.</p>
<p>@T26E4 wow! That’s great news. Thanks for the information. I know this isn’t the place but I noticed that you are a senior member. Is it possible for me to change my username?</p>
