<p>@anon345 they were sent through mail, i got mine on saturday!</p>
<p>AHH IM SO EXCITED. at least this balanced out my Caltech rejection and MIT waitlist haha!</p>
<p>Reject Cornell so I can go there. 
Especially if you’re already in MIT.</p>
<p>About how many of the accepted applicants get likely letters?</p>
<p>Got one on Saturday - another female engineer. However, going to Notre Dame instead</p>
<p>I got one today too - female engineer as well :)</p>
<p>D got one on saturday too. Female engineer.</p>
<p>Got one today for SWE! Does anyone know any info about the SWE weekend?</p>
<p>Just got a likely letter from COE, I’m a white male. Also am a finalist for the John McMullen Dean’s award.</p>
<p>And to the poster going to ND over Cornell, how come? Just curious, i got into ND EA, so I’m considering both schools as well.</p>
<p>D also got her likely letter today. Female engineer</p>
<p>i got a likely today (applied as a girl in engineering) :)</p>
<p>I’m a female who applied to engineering and I got a likely on Saturday (including all the information for the SWE weekend). Super exciting, and congrats to everyone else who got one!</p>
<p>Wow, look at all these engineering girls… maybe we male engineers aren’t doomed after all :)</p>
<p>Yes, and I - yet another female - got a likely letter for engineering. You guys aren’t doomed:)</p>
<p>Well, we’re doomed in terms of likely letters (hey, I’m not that underqualified, haha) but yes, if I end up going to Cornell, you all know why ;)</p>
<p>Okay, I know that it does not necessarily mean you’re rejected if you do not get a likely letter and you are a minority, but does that apply for the female engineers who are not minorities and do not receive a likely letter regarding the SWE?</p>
<p>Yes. You’re still fine. Just a couple more weeks of anticipation :)</p>
<p>i got a likely letter too as a female engineer, but im kind of confused because it seems like SO many people got them. did they send them to all accepted female engineers??</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if they did send them to all accepted female engineers. Because female engineers are technically a minority they’re probably hoping to boost the number of accepted girls who decide to go there by making them feel all special with a likely letter.</p>
<p>…Not that I don’t like feeling special. =D</p>
<p>You do know how many female engineers there are at Cornell, correct?</p>
<p>30% of the CoE is female, about 1000 students.</p>
<p>This is definitely not to every single female engineering applicant.</p>
<p>Good to hear about the 30% ratio. One of the other schools to which a friend of ours was accepted has only 17% women in the engineering school.</p>
