<p>Sygharitiria !!!</p>
<p>(Congratulations in Greek, for all the non-dancers)</p>
<p>Just got one! Ah so happy =D</p>
<p>Mailbox still empty :. Ah well didn’t think I’d get one anyway</p>
<p>Out of curiousity, do likely letters come snail mail, or email?</p>
<p>@cvilltn, euxaristw poly! quite excited, as this is my first non-state “acceptance.”</p>
<p>@ space cadet, snail mail. </p>
<p>also curious, does anyone know how many likely letters they send out per year? rough estimate? past numbers?</p>
<p>If one does not get a likely letter, does that mean that they aren’t getting in?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure most admitted kids don’t get likely letters. I think 4,500 or so kids get in per year. I’d be surprised if more than 1000 likely letters were sent out. that leaves 75% of acceptances for kids who don’t get letters.</p>
<p>Duke send out 300-350 likely letters each year which is about 10% of the total admitted. Most get in without one.</p>
<p>Just wondering if these are sent out by region.</p>
<p>Dragonboy, how did you find out about that number? I can’t find any official statement on that by Duke. Just curious.</p>
<p>I have heard the number from people admitted in previous years.</p>
<p>i have a similar question as ohio929496…
has anyone in michigan or the midwest received one yet?!
i mean i dont really think i will get one…but i can hope right? =P</p>
<p>Same as above… I hope they are released by region and that the Northeast hasn’t been sent out yet. Oh well, I don’t expect one.</p>
<p>Out of interest, any internationals receive likely letters? Any deferees from ED receive likely letters?</p>
<p>I suspect if one is liked during ED, they would have been automatically admitted. The academic likelies are given to people to try to lock in candidates a school wants for some reason or the other. They consider them institutional priorities.</p>

<p>I’m from South Carolina… got mine last saturday.</p>
<p>wait so just to clarify ( and i may have just accidentally skipped over someone)
no one has heard of anyone in the midwest has gotten a likely yet right? </p>
<p>im not expecting a likely from duke, but it’ll at least put me at ease if no one else in my region has heard from duke yet.</p>
<p>Also wondering about the midwest :P</p>
