<p>Does Princeton send likely letters?</p>
<p>I would love to find out if they do. Does anyone here know?</p>
<p>They've already been sent. Most if not all go to recruited athletes.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Princeton doesn't do likely letters like, say, Dartmouth does. Likely letters this year served the explicit purpose of nabbing recruited athletes due to the lack of an ED system. So no, if you have not received a Princeton likely letter, do not be afraid. I believe Dartmouth sends them to tip-top applicants to try and sway them from better schools, but Princeton has sooo many tip-top applicants that likely letters are useless.</p>
<p>Since Yale sends like 100 of them out, I thought Princeton might.</p>
<p>Princeton is one of the few Ivy League schools that do not send academic (as opposed to athletic) likely letters. Whether the admission office has decided to use that tactic this year after ending early admissions is still unknown, but it looks like it has not. People would probably have reported receiving them by now, as they have on other school forums.</p>
<p>i received an athletic likely letter, and many other top athletes in my sport have received likely letters from other ivy league schools. as for academic likely letters, I haven't heard of anyone receiving one from Princeton this year.</p>
<p>I had understood that Princeton would consider non-athletic likely letters this year. Harvard CC page reports a non-athletic likely today.</p>
<p>C'mon Princeton! Don't let Harvard beat you to the punch!</p>
<p>I never heard of Princeton sending non-athletic letters. Guess Harvard already won :p</p>
<p>wouldn't almost every acceptee be likely-letter-qualified?</p>
<p>No. While everyone here is of course highly qualified, some stand out from the pack as truly exceptional. For example, Adam</a> Hesterberg.</p>
<p>Jeez how could I ever be a math major at princeton if they have kids like that? They will laugh at my application next to his!</p>
<p>lol. Math Wiz=Un-Ordinary. But you are probably happier as yourself. :p</p>
