<p>Do you know of any international students that got a likely letter from Harvard (or any other prestigious school)? I know the likely letters are given to only a few, but what if the international was an athlete or very well qualified e.g. got a GOLD in the International Biology Olympiad, got perfect SAT I and II scores, did a lot of research and volunteering in their strong area etc.</p>
<p>Anyone???</p>
<p>In the Australian Class of 2014 thread in the intl students section, skylitup posted he/she got a likely letter from Yale, not sure about his/her stats though. hth</p>
<p>^ I did, and I must say, Yale is like a security blanket right now - giving me waves of comfort and warm-fuzzy-feelings, especially because I recently (and I suppose rather disconcertingly) got notified of Harvard’s request to do a second interview with me!</p>
<p>I’m not into giving stats, but within my national examinations, I achieved the top possible score, ranked top of the state in a number of humanities subjects and achieved various other academic distinctions. In addition I had very strong extracurriculars in focused areas which were my passions and which I pursued to a very high level.</p>
<p>I didn’t however get gold in any maths/science olympiads, am not a recruited athlete, and didn’t get perfect SATs!</p>
<p>I got one and there was a student from UK that got one a few weeks back.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>I was really curious about this :)</p>
<p>i got a likely letter from yale and im from canada lol</p>
<p>Well, I also got a likely letter from Columbia College, who also happen to be need-aware for internationals(I needed a great amount of financial aid.)</p>
<p>I got a likely from Columbia and a second interview at Harvard. I’m Central European.</p>
<p>Canada = America though… Kidding :)</p>
