<p>One girl at my school has started collecting likely letters from schools we both applied to....but I am almost 100% sure I'm more qualified than her (that sounds conceited, yea, but I wouldn't say it unless I was positive)</p>
<p>If she got a likely letter and I didn't, does that mean I'm going to be rejected?!?! </p>
<p>I'm not sure whether one of the schools she got a likely from was Yale... but I think it was one of the ivies</p>
<p>Don’t worry.
Most of those accepted to the ivies never even see a likely letter.</p>
<p>You’re freaking about someone else’s likely letter you’re not sure is from Yale or not? “More qualified” IS a conceited thing to say… in the end I’d rate the tone/vibe the application gives as the single most valuable factor to acceptance. Not scores, GPA, or alleged strength of ECs.</p>
<p>Take some chill pills…</p>
<p>wellllll, excuuusee me for being a little “on edge” these days waiting to hear about my top choice school. Take some chill pills? Easy for you to say considering you were accepted 4months ago. </p>
<p>just because I say one conceited thing does not mean that the tone of my application gave off a certain vibe - I seriously doubt that the admissions people were reading my app and thinking “oh this girl is so arrogant”</p>
<p>Hmmph. Give me a break here, okay</p>
<p>Yes, CC is a private place for everyone to rant and freak out. We can only hold it in for so long in public.</p>
<p>I tried to take some chill pills, but then I got arrested. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Basically even though you may be more qualified. She might have better recs, better essays, or SIMPLY she can BRAG more than you.</p>
<p>On college apps you need to be a lawyer. Make a kitten seem like a tiger, without lying of course. Admissions officers definitely do not spend hours on ur applications reading over every little detail.</p>
<p>I’ll probably sound dumb saying this, but what are likely letters?</p>
<p>plbro: Use the search function. Answer will come up quickly</p>
<p>^ What musicgal3 said. Not everyone - nowhere near everyone - get’s a likely letter, so try not to worry too much about it. :)</p>
