<p>Can someone explain what a likely letter/email would be?</p>
<p>article about likely letters</p>
<p>also if you do a search on CC using likely letters you will come up with a number of threads</p>
<p>It's essentially a letter that states that, despite your impossible fallacies, you're likely to gain admission to the school's general admissions program.</p>
<p>The letters are mailed to despondent students with a .001 to .00424 percent chance of acceptance; the only reason they're being accepted is because they're affulent, attractive, or have quasi-celebrity parents. These fortunate students are also usually adept at sling-shotting, minature golf, and the ancient art of chinese calligraphy.</p>
<p>I have absolutely no idea what oryx7crake said.</p>
<p>Likely letters are sent to some, but not all, auto-admits. The college is trying to create a feeling of good will on the part of the applicant that they will remember when it comes time for them to decide where to attend. Not all colleges send likely letters and the number sent depends on the college. They were sent before now.</p>
<p>vhs... My S received one on Friday and it says " Congratulations! On behalf of the School of Engineering & Applied Science, I am writing to extend an early congratulations on your admission to ------. You will receive your formal letter offering admission to the University within the next few weeks. "</p>
