Likely Letters

<p>Hahahaha yeah I got a random letter from Cornell a few days ago. After literally tearing up the envelope in excitement I was like …oh.</p>

<p>I think colleges are just playing a game with us. Any letters can come anytime. Let’s take some breaths and relax our minds.</p>

<p>Yeah true!! </p>

<p>I wake up every morning and check my mail/email, and almost everyday see something or the other from an university that I’ve applied to! I open it, hoping to see “We want you to attend our college” :stuck_out_tongue:
But all it says is, ‘Thank you’ or ‘have you explored our website’ or ‘have a great semester’!!</p>

<p>Damn these colleges, I bet the admissions people have a psychology degree of some sort – toying with our minds!! :)</p>

<p>I am just super surprised by the fact that Dartmouth hasn’t send out the likies to anyone. Oh well! Just relax and let the dominos fall.</p>

<p>Have others sent out likelies yet?</p>

<p>I reckon they’ll be sent out by the end of the month, if not before :)</p>

<p>it iiis weird that they haven’t sent any out yet. o.o</p>

<p>they might’ve done… just no-one’s admitting to having one yet!</p>

<p>“POmani Have others sent out likelies yet?”</p>

<p>There’s action on the Yale thread. Don’t see any in the other Ivies.</p>

<p>@aboutthesame Good shout!</p>

<p>The number of people getting LLs on the Yale forum is surprising.</p>

<p>It seems to be all stem and athletes tho…i thought there might be some urms…tho not every posted majors</p>

<p>Sent from my SGH-T959P using CC</p>

<p>Yeah I know 3 people personally that got ll’s from Yale… It’s pretty crazy</p>

<p>yeah yale sends around 100-150 each year to STEM applicants. weird that dartmouth hasn’t sent any yet (at least to our knowledge on CC)</p>

<p>I guess we will probably have to wait till around 2/11 to find out by this speed. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>it’s probably because of the deadline extension…</p>

<p>and really? 25% of admits get a likely? weird.</p>

<p>^yeah 25% seems pretty high…</p>

<p>unusually high o.o</p>

<p>Dartmouth has to send out so many to attract students, because people who apply to Dartmouth also apply to other Ivies. Being brutally honest, Dartmouth is well-known and in a rural area (which isn’t very attractive to many) so more people are likely to ditch Dartmouth for more well-known and more urban Ivy League schools if they’re accepted to other Ivies. Likely letters increase yield (somewhat) and therefore Dartmouth sends many more than other Ivy Leagues schools!</p>

<p>Wait, has anyone actually gotten any likely letters from Dartmouth yet? I really want to get one, but I’m assuming since I was deferred ED, I probably won’t :(</p>
