<p>hey y'all! there doesn't seem to be a thread for students accepted through ED or likely letter, and there's not an accepted students group on facebook (there's the class of 2013 group but to me that's like making a commitment... and i haven't decided where i want to go yet)</p>
<p>so i thought it'd be fun to get to know each other here!</p>
<p>i just found my likely letter randomly hiding on my mom's desk... so here i am. very excited :)</p>

<p>Hi, i’m Lisa from northern Idaho. I’m looking at a french major, & i’ll probably study other languages as well. and dance for fun! not sure how many actual classes are available, but i hear the student dance ensemble is pretty good.</p>
<p>i’m so excited to go to dimensions and meet everyone! are any of you going?</p>
<p>what is a likely letter?</p>
<p>Because Dartmouth is bound to the “official” Ivy admissions date of March 31st, they can’t admit their top RD prospects early. They circumvent this by sending out letters saying that there is “no doubt” that you will be admitted, or that it is “very likely”. The main point of likely letters is to increase yield–it gives the strongest applicants a chance to think more seriously about the school. Other colleges/universities also send out likely letters, but they vary as to who gets them.</p>
<p>Elvito from New Zealand, hoping to study environmental science/economics.</p>
<p>YES! I just got one. I didn’t know what the letter was saying at first.
I’m from Jersey :] Looking to study Biology/Biochemistry</p>
<p>oh that’s awesome. Congrats guys! </p>
<p>Can people who received the likely letters post their stats?</p>
<p>I got a likely letter, too :)</p>
<p>Yup I got one too. I’m from Canada, so excited to receive one.
Are your letters personal? Mine didn’t seem to be a form letter (ie. some very specific things about my app). Did anyone else suspect that maybe the letters are different for each one of us?</p>
<p>hey I’m Frankie from Miami, Florida. Got my likely letter about two weeks ago. 
I want to study biochemistry/chemistry. I really just want the official letter so I can breathe easier lol</p>
<p>@ dzhang4: my likely letter wasn’t personal. props to you for standing out so much. =)</p>
<p>Yeah, my letter was nice, but nothing that they couldn’t have sent out to everyone.</p>
<p>mine wasn’t personal, but im so excited to have received one!
