<p>so if i got a likely letter for engineering from CORNELL, does that mean i have a good chance at other ivies?? i applied to yale, harvard, princeton, brown, and penn (stanford too) for engineering. so if cornell really liked my app, is there a good chance the other schools will to? or do they look for very different things?</p>
<p>btw im a white female from texas.</p>
<p>likely at Cornell does not equal getting into Cornell, let alone getting into Harvard. I'm sure you still have a good chance, and in Cornell it's a highly likely chance, almost 100%, but yeah every ad com is different.</p>
<p>i was under the impression that a likely letter was an in...am i wrong?</p>
<p>basically, i guess im asking what is cornell's engineering applicant pool like in comparison to the other schools listed above? are they about the same or is cornell's weaker in comparison?</p>
<p>It means that, for the most part, you're in; there could be something that goes wrong and they can't offer you admission. But Cornell is one of the easier Ivies; so I think you have a good chance at the others, but a likely at Cornell doesn't tell us much.</p>
<p>I would say being at the top of cornell's pool, esp. in a stong program like engineering, suggests you have a solid shot at other ivies.
Good luck!</p>
<p>i got a likely from Yale but was deferred from Harvard EA... i imagine your still a strong candidate for any school -- it's just a matter of having that ''it'' factor that will get you into HYP and Stanford</p>
<p>25% (Cornell) or ~9% (everyone else). OP: the answer is "nyuuuh" or no. </p>
<p>You see, this is why you shouldn't join speech. It makes you put inflection into everthing. And when you can't, things like "nyuuuh" happen.</p>

<p>The Ivies cannot offer RD acceptances until the 29th (although Cornell has some rolling admits -- I don't know what and how there). However, I've not heard of any school NOT offering admission to a recipient of a "Likely" letter. I suppose they can rescind if YOU do something crazy like rob a bank or something. It's their way of early marketing (especially to athletes who otherwise have to sign letters of intent at other schools).</p>
<p>Although it's not 100% official, congratulations anyways. If other schools accept you, it'll be a nice choice to have. Regardless Cornell engineering is a sweet prgm. Have a great rest of Senioir year!</p>
