I just got a likely letter

<p>I am so envious of you guys.</p>

<p>Hmmmm any for Columbia College? I'm waiting on the West Coast ;).</p>

<p>West Coast? Try far north Alaska buddy.</p>

<p>congratz to those that got the likely letter, while I feel that this is a bit fishy as well, i'll trust that no one would be so bored as to fake an likely letter=p.</p>

<p>again congratz and see you guys next year .</p>

<p>Oh wow, robotFOOD, you're so cool.</p>

<p>I appreciate the sarcasm tchaikovsky <3</p>

<p>i read on a previous likely letter thread in this forum that only fu sends out the likely letters, not the college.</p>

<p>I think I would pretty much do anything to have a CC liekely letter right now haha. If such a thing exists.</p>

<p>the only thing that sucks is if you get rejected. i would be ****ed if i got a likely letter and got my hopes all up</p>

<p>what do your stats have to be to get a likely letter</p>

<p>Varun, is this your second likely letter?</p>

<p>nope, first and only</p>

<p>I got one to Fu too on 2/24/06.</p>

<p>It seems pretty legit and they're mailing a hard copy. The email has already been posted too, so there is really no need to repost.</p>

<p>Needless to say, I was pretty excited.</p>

<p>I don't know if it is too early. I got a likely letter from lehigh a couple days back and someone from my school got one from dartmouth.</p>

<p>i got a likely - LIKELY TO BE REJECTED! no, but wouldnt that suck?</p>

<p>"Dear (Whoever),</p>

<p>We saw your SAT score and haven't bothered to look at the rest of your application. We're kind of busy anyways. Yeah, life sucks - that's something you'll learn soon (but not at Columbia, trust us, you won't be learning ANYTHING at Columbia...ever).</p>

<p>Enjoy Community College,
Columbia Admissions</p>

<p>PS: Thanks for the extra $65! (aka the money you shouldn't have wasted on your application fee)"</p>

<p>its true, my friend last year got one around this time, online, from Columbia Engineering, and he was later admitted</p>

<p>btw, Dartmouth sends out 3 waves of likely letters to like 1/3 of the ppl they admit</p>

<p>Wow OSUforME, 16 AP tests is crazy!!</p>

<p>Has Columbia just sent likely letters for the engineering school, any for college of arts and sciences?</p>
