<p>I got one in the mail and all of the people I know also got it mailed to them. Congrats!</p>
<p>(Just don’t commit a felony and you should be good!)</p>
<p>have they started sending likely letters already for dartmouth?</p>
<p>I think Forkingjamie was an athletic recruit. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard of any being sent out yet…</p>
<p>A few years ago now, but my unhooked son got likely letters from all six schools that admitted him, including Dartmouth (which he attended), and no likely letters (of course) from the two schools which rejected him.
My guess is that schools send likely letters to all students they want to admit, if they can review the application early enough to send out a letter.</p>
<p>to the kids that get them do u think they already completed an interview bc mine is next week? would they admit without the interview, also what state r u from? stats, pls r u a recruit or urm?</p>
<p>Danas, Do you mind me asking what other schools sent your son likely letters. I was under the impression (except for athletes) most schools didn’t send likely letters. Maybe he was an exceptional applicant.</p>
<p>Yes, I am an athletic recruit. And to Collegesgirl; I’m from NY, and have not had an interview yet… Speaking of which…
I have an interview scheduled for this Thursday, should I tell the interviewer that I received a Likely? Should I call her and tell her? My mom suggested that she might prefer to just cancel the interview because there really is no point</p>
<p>I was under the impression that about 100 applicants (non recruits) get likely letters from schools. They dont send them out to all admitted applicants, thats for sure.</p>
<p>burry…
My son also got likely letters from Amherst, Williams, Carleton, Haverford and Johns Hopkins.
He was not admitted to Princeton and Harvard.
Carleton, Haverford and Johns Hopkins were not visited and, I hate to admit it, were regarded as safeties.
At the time, we regarded Dartmouth, Amherst and Williams as matches and Princeton and Harvard as reaches.
Things played out as expected.
But I am recently more open to the possibility that he was among the stronger candidates at the schools that admitted him.</p>
<p>^I’m guessing he didn’t get a likely from Princeton b/c Princeton only sends them to RAthletes & Questbridge</p>
<p>To answer my own question from above, Dartmouth informed her that I had gotten a Likely. She still asked regular interview questions.</p>
<p>when do the likely letters usually arrive by?</p>
<p>Last year people got them Feb 14 at the earliest (dated Feb 11), but they came in waves.</p>
<p>Do international students receive likely letters? Or would that be unusual?</p>
<p>how good do u have to be to get a likely letter for track…
If I do 4:30 mile / 2:00 800m, would that be sufficient to get a likely letter??</p>
<p>I looked at dartmouth track team, and those times seem to be on the lower end of the spectrum…</p>
<p>^ You have to talk to a coach and be recruited to receive a likely letter for sports. I’d consider sending out emails to them now to get your name out there, along with your test scores and whatnot.</p>
<p>o **** thx…
problem is that I’ve been injured for the past 2 months, and wont be back in shape until maybe another month…</p>
<p>what do I do? should I talk w/ them anyways?</p>
<p>Yeah I would send them all of your stats for track/running, etc. It can’t hurt! I wouldn’t mention you are injured though unless they ask to watch you run or something?</p>
<p>Superaznnerd- In all honesty, thats not fast enough. Anyways, if your a senior, its too late to talk to the coach, especially if your looking for a likely letter. You will really need to be at or less than 1:56 800m and closer to sub 4:20 mile.</p>
<p>do the likely letters come by e-mail or through letter maiL?</p>
