<p>I was wondering which of the Ivies sends out likely letters?</p>
<p>Penn and Brown send them only to recruited athletes
Columbia SEAS sends them and CC sends them only to recruited athletes
Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth send them to anyone</p>
<p>not sure about Princeton and Cornell.</p>
<p>Cornell sends them. I'm not so sure about Princeton, but I would say yes for them as well.</p>
<p>What exactly is a "likely letter"?</p>
<p>any timeline to these likely letters?</p>
<p>Thanks for your answers, it really cleared up some things for me. wolps: Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought they come from late-Feb to early-march.</p>
<p>Why do they send likely letters? And is it fatal to the app if you've not received one? Cornell already sent acceptance to my D, but no likelies from anybody:(</p>
<p>Someone who got accepted last year posted the likely letter that he got, and it was dated March 4. So I'd guess they'll be sent out during the first week of March and should be received by mid-March at the latest.</p>
<p>Likelies are sent basically to remind the applicant to keep Cornell in mind as the decisions roll in.
For recruited athletes, it serves as an early acceptance so they'll know from Cornell before they're snapped up by rolling decision state schools.
For very very qualified applicants, it gets Cornell in their minds so they don't forget about Cornell when the acceptances from other universities come too.</p>
<p>Dont worry...liklies are only given to the very top of applicants so you can definitely get accepted without getting one.</p>
<p>Likelies are given out in between mid Feb and early March normally.</p>
<p>Do all the colleges in Cornell send out likelies, or only some colleges?
Specifically, I am wondering if the School of Art, Architecture, and Urban Planning sends likely letters or not?</p>
<p>HERE is what my likely letter from LAST year looked like:

<p>i don't think AAP sends out likely letters</p>
<p>the decision board members are architecture professors and they review the portfolios at the same time. the architecture board can't tell really who's good or not until they review the portfolios</p>
<p>APP clearly sends out likely letters. look at the post right above yours</p>
<p>ok..at least not for architecture</p>
<p>urban planning doesn't require portfolios</p>
<p>Has anyone recieved a likely letter from Cornell yet? I thought it was around the mid-March time they start sending it out.</p>
<p>I got one today from Cornell.</p>
<p>i got one from Cornell Engineering today!</p>
<p>I know that the Life and Ag sends out their acceptances earlier than CAS and Engineering, though.</p>
<p>My friend, applying to architecture, got one. ..I haven't :(</p>
<p>does cornell send out possible likely letters?</p>
