do likely letters only come in the mail or email as well?
No idea. D’s came snail mail, but that was 2009. Things might have changed.
@sybbie719 @AboutTheSame Yeah, that is the conclusion I arrived to after talking with some friends… I really can’t picture myself getting in anyway. I didn’t worked on my essays as much I would have liked… I literally re-wrote my PS 5 days before the deadline. Well, mistakes were made hehe.
In both cases, read absolutely nothing into them. There are no tea leaves to be read. The only thing that means you’ve been accepted is the acceptance notice on 3/30 or the likely letter received in advance. Good luck.
My son did not receive a likely letter before his RD acceptance. Luckily, AFAIK, he had no idea they existed. I found out from CC, but I certainly didn’t tell him!
@luckymama64 , my son got a letter from the FA folks asking for some specific additional information in March. From years on this forum, I’d say that the later the request comes and the more specific it is, the more likely an acceptance will be forthcoming because it means they are actually putting together a package for you.
On the other hand, until you have the acceptance in hand…
I would share any such speculation with my kid. You don’t want to see hopes raised only to be dashed.
LOL @Consolation, I’m supposed to be “banned” (by my kid) from CC. Although she introduced me to it, she said it is way over the top.
Oops, obviously I meant I would NOT share such speculation.
Some parts of CC are definitely over the top, especially the chance me stuff. On the other hand, the Parents Forum has a really nice community, especially the Cafe.
I got the same email as you in February 8. @josevi
