<p>No, not the likely letter...the one that says "congratulations on your hard work and scholastic success...using information obtained from college testing services, we have identified you as a student who may be a good candidate for Yale." </p>
<p>The one that MEANS NOTHING! But, wow, that letter does its job...makes you feel good and like you have a real chance so you better apply! </p>
<p>Anyway, good luck to everyone awaiting this year's decisions!</p>
<p>OMG! I got one, too. Lol. What a big ego boost. I was just selected as a finalist for TASP and I’m beginning to feel as if there is hope…haha</p>
<p>There’s always hope!!! (Well, until there is denial!) Good luck with TASP!</p>
<p>DS, a junior, got one too…It was nicely written…</p>
<p>I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t want to put it in my “Ughhhh college ads” pile.</p>
<p>As I opened it, I had some irrational dream that it would be a handwritten letter from their admissions officer offering me acceptance without even applying…</p>
<p>It was nice. First letter from HYP, and a very encouraging one too. I wonder where they got the info from (ACT?PSAT?). Do HYP and other top tier schools usually send out that much mail? As a prospective NMSF, should I expect a deluge (not a bad thing)?</p>

<p>You guys should be wary of such letters/mass mailings.</p>
<p>“Do HYP and other top tier schools usually send out that much mail?”</p>
<p>Unfortunately yes (relative to the # of students they accept). Best of luck to all of you though. ;)</p>
<p>It’s a letter. NBD.</p>
<p>Just to be clear…I was never saying that this letter meant anything and I don’t think others were either…just irrationally a little fun to get.</p>
<p>Just a post to let others who didn’t get something in this wave of marketing material…
don’t worry.</p>
<p>Don’t recall if our Yalie got a piece of mail or not in that first wave of mass mailings</p>
<p>Enjoy hs. Stay focused on doing what you love. The right fit for college will come. Yale is a great place and there are many great schools. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>So much for all the BS about SAT scores not counting much at Yale.</p>
