<p>I also received an engineering likely letter today, but I am a male. The email also invited me to attend the Engineering Diversity Hosting Weekend on the weekend of April 12th, all expenses paid. Very exciting :)</p>
<p>when are the âNormalâ likely letters??</p>
<p>I believe the window for likely letters has already passed. It would seem silly to hand out more this close to the decision date, no?</p>
<p>^Yes, I believe the last day for all Ivies to send likely letters was today 3/15âŠthough most admitted applicants donât receive them, so thereâs still hope!</p>
<p>Besides, ânormalâ likely letters (meaning strictly academic, I assume) are extremely rare. Likely letters from Cornell are generally confined to recruited athletes, DHW invitations, and female engineers. Or so I am led to believe.</p>
<p>Also got one. And also a female engineer.
Anyone know how likely it actually is that weâll be accepted?</p>
<p>Congrats! It would be sooo mean if they sent out these emails and then we got rejected. I would say 99.99% chance. Just donât get expelled or arrestedâŠ</p>
<p>congrats to all ⊠I guess being a female does have its advantages 
( in this regard 
)</p>
<p>i got the female engineering one as well!
from what i heard some guys got an email also, just without the SWE whatnot of course.</p>
<p>Accepted to UCLAâs school of engineering on Saturday, waitlisted at MIT, and just got Cornellâs likely email for female engineers! Yay for being a nerd :)</p>
<p>So excited I already filled out the registration form to visit overnight in mid-April! Also attached was a document about scholarship for female engineers⊠MIT can suck it! Congrats to the rest of the people with emails :D</p>

<p>Most people around here think that itâs about 100% likely that youâll be admitted. (still, I wouldnât decline any other schools until you have the official notification).</p>
<p>The Ivy League has a common RD admission date (I think itâs 3/30 @ 5:00pm this year) and canât formally admit anyone prior to that date, but they do issue a limited number of âlikely lettersâ to candidates that theyâre targeting. From what I read on this board, it appears that female engineering students is one of Cornellâs categories.</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Nah, I just remember seeing previous threads in past years and seeing what I THINK had ânormalâ likely letters as well, opposed to just diversity/female engineer ones. Not expecting one though, just curious ;)</p>
<p>Any kind of likely letter at all is something to be proud of :). Cornell is a fantastic school, and to be sought after by them is a tremendous honor.</p>
<p>There should still be more likely letters coming, I remember getting one around this time for a scholarship.</p>
<p>I still havenât gotten a letterâŠguess I wonât be accepted :(.</p>

<p>The vast majority of acceptees (including women engineers and minorities) do not get âlikely lettersâ. Donât read anything at all into the fact that you may not have received one.</p>
<p>Anyone know the percentage of applicants receiving llâs?</p>

<p>Cornell does seem to let some of the women engineering applicants know early so that they can make arrangements for the SWE event, which is in April when everyone is having accepted student weekends.</p>
<p>I hope you are right, zephyr15. I am actually a minority so not receiving one is even worst :(.</p>
<p>I wonder how they decide who to send likely letters too. It would be interesting to find out.</p>
