<p>Likely letters are always held at every school that uses them. Otherwise, they would be ineffective at their task, which is attracting the top students/athletes to the school.</p>
<p>Are you an underrepresented minority or athlete? That might explain why you got a likely letter despite your stats.</p>
<p>White girl at a public high school in middle class suburbia, MA; played soccer and softball but never an outstanding athlete. Crazy huh? I'm probably the top student in the class among those who applied to Cornell, but that's pretty much all I can think of.</p>
<p>4/305 and a 2230 SAT are ur stats; since you got a likely letter, it must be among the top</p>
<p>if i apply ED to HumanEc and get deferred or rejected can i apply to CALS rolling? and also when is the rolling application period?</p>

Does CAS ever send out likey letters and then not accept those students? I got one, but I don't know whether I should take that as a "yes" or a "maybe." To be completely honest, I was shocked. Not that I'm unintelligent, but I didn't think my credentials were ridiculously high compared to the rest of the applicant pool. Any idea how many of the likely letters get sent out?
