<p>What is a likely letter? i keep hearing in the forums about people getting likely letters from all these ivy leagues and various other colleges. Do they really show any increase in probability that the college will accept you or what?</p>
<p>yes, if by increase in probability u mean "accepted"</p>
<p>oh, so basically it's just an informal acceptance letter?</p>
<p>it's their little way of skirting the common ivy league procedure... ur not "technically admitted" cuz they never said "YOU ARE ACCEPTED", but "we think you are an exceptional candidate" speaks for itself</p>
<p>oh ok thanx for the info</p>
