<p>Has this every happened to anyone? Haha this is another one of those.. just out of curiosity questions... Was there a specific reason?</p>
<p>Yes but its rare.</p>
<p>Hmm... I think that happens only if the person does something really serious..
Like plagirize (sp?) .... or something</p>
<p>i would say a rejection after a likely letter is about as likely as getting an actual acceptance revoked. sure, it happens, but it's rather rare.</p>
<p>There were a bunch of threads on this topic around November/December.
I don't remember anything in particular - no one admitted to being rejected after this.</p>
<p>An Ivy rep recently told me that she was only aware of one likely letter turned rejection at her school. It was based on an academic infraction that would have been grounds for rescission of a regular acceptance.</p>
<p>^ Well, unless you get arrested, fail all your classes or do something really stupid, my general impression from what I've read is...don't worry about it.</p>
<p>I know one person who got a likely letter from a sports coach at an Ivy -- think, "We're so excited to have you at [University X] next year, congratulations!" etc, etc, and then got deferred a week later. S/he was rejected in the spring.</p>
<p>As previous posters have said, though, that is RARE.</p>
<p>this happened to someone i know--it was because he ended up cheating and got his likely to princeton taken away, and then rejected.</p>
<p>^^ pity. I myself got a likely letter from Cornell, and had always been worried on this issue till I got my official acceptance letter.</p>
<p>It can occur for non-exceptional reasons I think -- I've seen it occur for a couple of admissions threads (in the forums on CC specific to each school).</p>
