I go back and forth between thinking about all the reasons I should and deserve to get in, and how badly I want it and that being enough, to trying to be realistic about my chances as a white, no hooks girl at a selective school with crapshoot admissions. Just wanna know at this point :frowning:

Last name pretty early in the alphabet

looks like it’s time zones or geography, guys.

@jsg003 LL=Likely Letter, something that basically says “hey, just so you know, we’re going to accept you in March.” Kinda like an early admit.

Guys it means nothing I double pinky promise

@jsg003 LL stands for likely letter. Selective colleges send out a few hundred unofficial early acceptances to recruited athletes and students that they really want to lock down. They can’t send out actual acceptances early because of the Ivy League pact so they get around it with LLs.
