<p>I received mine today for Fu SEAS. I never knew any Ivy gave out likely letters to anyone other than recruited athletes though. Is this something done by just Columbia, or at least Fu?</p>
<p>Do they send out email likely letters to International students?</p>
<p>You could ask the admissions office, although that would be kind of awkward ^_^ And I just noticed how old this thread is... thread necro FTL.</p>
<p>Mark126, they do. But don't worry, only very few applicants get likely letters.</p>
<p>Are likely letters all sent out on the same day?</p>
<p>Dear ________,</p>
<p>I am writing to inform you that your application to Columbia University has been carefully evaluated and that you have earned designation as a likely candidate for admission to Columbia College. As long as our midyear review finds that you are maintaining your current level of academic progress and good standing, you can expect to receive favorable word when admissions packets are mailed on March 31st.</p>
<p>etc etc</p>
<p>^did you get your email today?</p>
<p>So who gets the likely letters? any stats?</p>
<p>I have a question: if you get a likely letter does that mean you're probably not getting interviewed? because I submitted my app in november and I still haven't been contacted, though I did get a likely.</p>
<p>anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>My son received a "likely letter" from Columbia a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful surprise to me, as I never heard of them before. He said he heard of them but never expected to receive one! He does do one sport, but I believe the letter has nothing to do with athletics. I believe it is more for his his academic achievements combined with his overall committment, involvement and achievements in various activities.</p>
<p>OMG I didn’t know Columbia sends out likely letters!!! That’s awesome.</p>
<p>Way to revive a thrice dead thread</p>
<p>Haha if he hadn’t we’d have just gotten a new thread from someone incapable of using the search function ;)</p>
<p>An optimistic view towards the necroing of this thread.</p>
<p>a likely letter?! …one more thing to think about xD</p>
<p>i got my likely letter to SEAS and
- i am not an athlete
- already had my interview
… funnily, yes I AM a girl applying to engineering </p>
<p>does anyone know if any other ivies send out likelies to non-athletes?</p>
<p>I got a likely letter today from Columbia! I was extremely excited. It was so nice to hear a little earlier than I normally would have.</p>
<p>i got one too, today by email 
i hope they get my mid-year report in time…</p>
<p>I couldn’t help but notice that this thread hasn’t been revived in a while. </p>
<p>You’re welcome, Mr. Thread.</p>
