<p>Does MIT do this, giving early likely letters? Someone told me that their friend got an admission to MIT recently due to athletic recruitment.</p>

The short answer, mit_hopefulgirl, is MIT doesn’t send these “likely letters.”</p>

<p>One reason why likely letters aren’t a part of our process is that our process differs from many of the schools who employ them. At MIT, we read and summarize the applications over the course of a number of weeks, and we don’t admit anyone until all of the reading is done and we come together as a committee.
