<p>How rare is that student gets a likely letter but doesn’t get acceptance?</p>
<p>In all my reading on CC and elsewhere I have yet to hear of a single likely that didn’t become official. Not that I’ve systematically read everything I could, but everyone seems to agree likely = certain. Of course, discovery of plagiarism or something like that would change things, but that would get an official acceptance rescinded also.</p>
<p>I got deferred ED, so not expecting a LL.</p>
<p>I do know two people who’ve gotten them. Both are asian - one was deferred by Yale and the other was deferred by MIT.</p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
<p>@lolToasty, I was also deferred by Yale EA! lol</p>

As a LL candidate who matriculated into columbia last year, I can safely say that LL is 99.9% acceptance (0.1% reserved for people who fail miserably for their midyear / commit murder/ etc…). I’ve never seen (or heard) anyone who didn’t get accepted after getting a LL email.</p>
<p>Got a likely letter yesterday; was deferred EA by Harvard lol.</p>
<p>It’s ridiculous how many of us deferrees from hyps got ll’s from columbia :l</p>
<p>I apologize if this was posted earlier in the thread, but does anyone know how many LLs Columbia sends out? I’ve seen 200-300 estimates for the other Ivies, it just seems oddly disproportionate that so many people received LLs here…</p>
<p>Most of the posts on this thread are from last year. I counted about 10 reports for LLs for this year.</p>
<p>^ there is another thread from this admissions cycle where other CC users claimed to have received a LL. So more than 10.</p>
<p>at least 2 pple from my school got LL (me being one of them) so…I’m guessing quite a few people got them</p>
<p>I barely saw that most of these were from last year… Damn cc app.
Well, it’s comforting to know only a few got an email 
</p>

Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1 out of 780
