Got mine in an email today! Has anyone else heard back yet?

Me too!

I did too! I was hunting for the others. A google search of CWRU likely letters yields NOTHING.

Anyone know how rare they are or how good of a sign this is?

4

I got one too! I searched online too and found nothing. Maybe this is a new practice.

5

What is a ‘likely’ letter? Is is sent to students already accepted?

6

New mom to board - would students who got likely emails be willing to share their stats?

Thanks :slight_smile: Again, newbie question - do most colleges do “likely” letters for a large group of students - or for select ones?

@muncom‌ you applied this month and got a likely letter?

15

Yep. I applied on Feb 3 (honestly because there was no app fee or essay)

Just discovered that 2 other kids from my school also recieved LLs. 34 ACTs, both of them, before you ask.

haha, I got one for class of 2020. Did a google search as well, and stumbled upon this thread.
@muncom, you sound like someone I’ve heard of from my school :stuck_out_tongue:
