<p>Which schools send likely letters? And also, to how many people do they send them to?</p>
<p>Harvard does. Idk how many, but there was a girl on these boards a while ago who got one.</p>
<p>Ah, never you mind.</p>
<p>"But all likely-letter recipients must meet three criteria: They must be such strong candidates that they are virtually certain to have applied to other competitive schools, it must be virtually certain that the most competitive schools will accept them, and last, Yale officers must be virtually certain that they will admit the applicant, even without seeing the entire applicant pool."</p>
<p>"Brenzel declined to say how many such letters Yale sends out each year. But a student familiar with the likely letters program said Yale sent out about 120 early letters this year.</p>
<p>Harvard, which also uses likely letters to target top academic recruits, sends out roughly 100 of them each year, Harvard Director of Admissions Marlyn McGrath-Lewis said."</p>
<p>Dartmouth sends out tons.
WashU and Emory send them to URM students. And WashU also pays for their flights to visit the school.
Columbia occasionaly sends them. Although this year they only went to engineering students.</p>
<p>its for the super-mortals, not us mere groveling fools.</p>
<p>All ivies do, Stanford also. Most of them send those letters to athletes, but Dartmouth sends them to top students in Feb. Princeton and Harvard will probably send out more likely letters next year since they are doing away with EA/ED.</p>
<p>Hijacking this thread:</p>
<p>If you get a likely letter, how does that reflect upon your chances? Did they go from a 10% chance to a 60% chance? Or what?</p>
<p>UNC-CH sends likely letters.</p>
<p>If you get a likely letter, you are most likely in.</p>

<p>If you get a likely, you're accepted.</p>
<p>Duke also sends likely letters.</p>
<p>Wellesley follows a "likely" letter system under their Early Evaluation.</p>
<p>So like... likely letter = 99% chance of acceptance???
An wait... does that mean I am 1/7 of the size I am right now??</p>
<p>Edit: oops... don't CC while doing physics homework.</p>
<p>My boyfriend got a likely letter from Bowdoin.</p>
<p>Wow. I wish he applied to some more schools. He really didn't think he was so strong an applicant.</p>
<p>Cornell does.</p>
<p>UVA deos.</p>
<p>Likely letter = 99.9% accepted. The only way you wouldn't get accepted is if you proceed to go murder somebody.</p>
