<p>So I heard that there are three waves for likely letters. Around what times do the likely letters come? I'm guessing one wave already came , correct?</p>
<p>Yes, one wave was sent out on January 27th.</p>
<p>It seems like several CC’ers were likely recipients. Hmmm… I wonder when the next wave will be…</p>
<p>… if you’re nervously watching the mail box for a Likely Letter, you’re better off spending your time elsewhere. The vast majority of Ivy admits never see a single Likely Letter. The are for very specialized classes of candidates.</p>
<p>Last year three applicants from my daughter’s school received likely letters in three different weeks between mid-Feb and early March. Go figure.</p>
<p>Are the next couple waves for other special groups (athletes, etc.)?</p>
<p>Recruited athletes at D usually go ED, if I’m not mistaken, although there are some exceptions.</p>
<p>Is there anything different about the other waves?</p>
<p>I have no idea. How do we even know that there will be three waves total?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t think its worth waiting for a “Likely Letter” from Dartmouth, unless you applied as a recruit/specialized in something (like world olympiad gold medalist for chemistry or something)</p>
<p>my brother never received one, and still was accepted</p>
<p>Just got a likely letter today. (2/14)</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>
<p>I feel like compared to last year, this year the “wave” started earlier and there was less time in between the 1st and 2nd? I wonder if that means anything. Could be just over-analyzing though lol ><</p>
<p>2/14? they must love you. ;)</p>
<p>I got a likely from Columbia College but nothing from Dartmouth. ;p</p>
<p>^ Oh, you must be devastated…</p>
<p>I got one from Dartmouth today (dated 3/11)</p>
<p>^That’s great! Congratulations.</p>
<p>Mine was dated 3/7! Perhaps there are still more waves to go</p>
<p>My D applied and hasn’t heard a peep from them. We’re assuming it’s a ‘no-go’ for her there whereas both Brown and Yale interviewed her.</p>
