Does anyone received likely letters? DS received one email yesterday from Columbia, any other school ?
Columbia sent them out last yer on President’s Day as well. They sent about 200 last year I thought I read somewhere. Of the top schools it’s basically schools that have ED that send LLs. I know Brown sends and Penn use to but they have stopped starting with last year except for maybe for Nursing.
Yale sends LLs.
HYS, none of which have ED, send likely letters.
I feel the need to include my traditional caveat: for schools that issue Likely Letters, be advised that the vast majority of accepted students will not receive a Likely Letter, so nobody should obsess if they have not received one.
My D didn’t apply to any of those so I guess that’s where my ignorance stems. But we are talking academic LLs and not athletic LLs, right?
Yes @Dolemite , my S got one , but he is not athletic at all
I was, based on the original poster’s kid just getting one, I assumed he is not an athletic recruit. Athletic Likely Letters are usually, although not always, restricted to the ED/EA round. Likely Letters for non-athletics recruits generally only factor into the RD round.
