Likely Letters

<p>Did anyone else on CC get a likely letter for admission to Harvard? I didn't... but I have been getting finaid requests. Do they send likely letters to everyone still in the running for admission?</p>

<p>A girl from my school got one.</p>

<p>as far as I know,likely letters from Harvard are extremely rare-theyre usually sent out to the topmost applicants.I dont think more than a 100 are mailed out,though I could be wrong</p>

<p>seems strange that no one from CC got one...there are so many excellent applicants!</p>

<p>That's exactly what I was thinking in making this topic!</p>

<p>the international girl who got one...must be the most amazing person on the planet...its VERY rare for international applicants to get likelies from ANY school- much less harvard...i hope she decides to attend</p>

<p>i got a likely...i'm not amazing. i have another friend who got one, though, and she IS amazing.</p>

<p>whoa, what's the likely letter from harvard say??? this is a CC first! :)</p>

<p>o, in case i forget: CONGRATS!!!! :D</p>

<p>i think it's mainly to athletes and URMs.</p>

<p>mainly, perhaps. i know that ariadne09 isn't an athlete nor the typical URM (her mom's from the phillippines, i think... i'm not sure if that counts or not). i've also read of one or two other CC-ers who got likelies for being normal, good students.</p>

<p>^ That's what is making me wonder about these likelys... the people who have got them say they are non-athlete, URM, RSI, etc. I wonder what the rhyme or reason is?</p>

<p>hmmmmm..so say..you're missing fin aid stuff..yet the school hasnt contacted you about it..does that mean YOUVE BEEN REJECTED?!??</p>

<p>i received a letter asking for more financial info, but it was through the college board... is this not the same? were the ones any of you got directly from the school its self? as in the letter was on harvard stationary, etc.?</p>

<p>beauty- some people (including me) got emails from Harvard FA asking for missing FA stuff... my emails are dated 21st (impersonal, generic) and then a second one on the 23rd (personal, had my name, my dad's business, etc.).</p>

<p>hmmmmm..so say..you're missing fin aid stuff..yet the school hasnt contacted you about it..does that mean YOUVE BEEN REJECTED?!??</p>

<p>i really gotta know..</p>

<p>sexy - no one knows. the way i see it (sorta.. i hope) is that if youve gotten the emails, its good, but if u didnt, it doesnt necesarily mean anything.</p>

<p>ok..
let's just not worry about the corelation between FA and admissions.. we will find out soon.. this is just making everyone nervous.</p>

<p>as if we werent nervous enough already</p>

<p>fine, more nervous.. at least it is to me.</p>
