likely letters

<p>does stanford send out likely letters....has anyone got them for RD?</p>

<p>I heard that they were. I haven't gotten one though. (Maybe I'm not a likely admit.)</p>

<p>Stanford does not give out likely letters.</p>

<p>My bad, a-bomb.</p>

<p>cool, cuz i read a thread somewhere on the "college admissions" forum, saying someone got one for stanford.</p>

<p>rooster, yes they do...well, i'm not 100% sure, but i read on a certain schools' accepted students website that a kid already got one...</p>

<p>damn.... it looks like I'm not a likely for stanford</p>

<p>nooo..stanford does not send out likely letters...if ur not sure call the admin office and ask but i know for a fact that they dont. there is a lot of false info on the internet...trust me, stanford = no likely letters</p>

<p>dumb question, but what <em>are</em> likely letters anyway?</p>

<p>means that you will "likely" get accepted on april 1, in other words it is almost a guaranteed acceptance. The likelies are used by ivies to notify students before the april 1 common reply date</p>

<p>likely letters were made to secure athletes b/c the ivies couldn't technically sign a kid (part of their weird rules)
stanford doesnt hav to deal with this-as long as they are within the ncaa window, they just bust out the NLI and the kid is theirs</p>
