<p>oh really :[ now I'm scared. Does this apply to alot of schools or just the ivy leagues?</p>
<p>just the ivies but don't worry about it- a lot of athletes get into ivies without receiving likely letters</p>
<p>im an athelete, just got my likely letter. it doesnt say that you get in, only that you are like really really close to getting in. hope i dont get screwed over at the last moment or something like that.</p>
<p>countrugen - did your likely letter say congrats and "welcome to the Yale family"? I think you have to really screw up to not get accepted after getting a likely letter - flunk out, get arrested ....</p>
<p>Ya, it's VERY hard this late in the game to get rejected, but rescindment is another thing...</p>
