<p>I just got an email today from Columbia!! </p>

<p>Dear *******:</p>

<p>I am writing to inform you that your application to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and
Applied Science has been evaluated and that you have been designated as a 'likely' candidate for
admission. As long as you maintain good standing in your senior year, you can expect to receive
favorable word when admissions packets are mailed on March 31st. </p>

<p>The Committee on Admissions was impressed with your achievement and interest in engineering and
applied science. You and your family have every right to be proud of your success. </p>

<p>Congratulations on your success to date. Members of the admission office will be in selection
committee until the end of March and our students will be on spring break the week of March 14th.
We hope you will be able to join us on campus for an open house event on the 15th of April to visit
labs and meet with faculty and students.</p>

<p>IM SO STOKED, NYC here i come.</p>

<p>I thought columbia didn't give out likely letters (as I was told from another member on this forum)</p>

3

<p>its a likely e-mail :) i guess its another way to bend the truth. they can say "yes we don't send out likely letters"</p>

<p>i got one too</p>

4

<p>damn, I did not.</p>

5

<p>Is this only an engineering school thing?</p>

6

<p>3 ?s</p>

<p>what are your stats/ECs and whatnot, did you do do SHP, and what time did you get it?</p>

7

<p>Why oh why didn't I apply for Columbia engineering...</p>

<p>my stats:<br>

790 SAT verbal
800 IIC
790 Chem
750 Writing
top 5% of class

<p>Do likely letters go out on a rolling basis? And would anyone randomly know whether Columbia tackles the tri-state area first or last in the process?</p>

<p>I wish SHP meant an automatic likely letter and acceptance.</p>

10

<p>i got an email today too. does anyone know if the 'likely emails' are definite acceptances or if there is any chance of being rejected now?</p>

<p>and i'm also engineering</p>

11

<p>siemens pretty much guarantees entrance</p>

12

<p>where r u guys from? i live in nyc and i haven't heard of anyone getting one, even those that got in early. but congrats guys!</p>

13

<p>i think its only engineering....</p>

14

<p>my friend who applied for fu foundation also received the email</p>

15

<p>wow, I wish they do that for the Columnbia College applicants.</p>

16

<p>anyone know how many ppl get likely letter for columbia fu?</p>

17

<p>puzzle, why would anyone who applied early get a likely letter? They have only one month of waiting and there's no need to woo anyone who applied for binding early decision. Likely letters are sent out to encourage strong applicants to go there. Early applicants need no encouragement. Plus the early round wait is short so there's less time to make admissions decisions and no need to lessen the pain of the wait for applicants.</p>
