Likely Letters

<p>General questions....
Do likely letters come in big envelopes likle a regular acceptance letter would? Or do they just come in a standard envelope..?
Thanks</p>

<p>my question- do they come at all for early applicants who AREN'T recruited athletes?</p>

<p>i thought we find out online... admittedly it's preferable. You may develop a small internet phobia, but it's better than hunting down the mailman (you, I've never seen a mailwoman) everyday.</p>

<p>well no, he's talking about likely letters, aka, letters that arrive before december 14th and basically say, you'll probably be admitted come december.</p>

<p>Did I hear this correctly? Likely letters exist in the early action round too?</p>

<p>That is where they started,</p>

<p>"Likely letters" - pioneered by Princeton - were intended to be the functional equivalent of commitment letters sent to recruited athletes by athletic-scholarship-granting schools in the late fall. (ie, the "letter of intent")</p>

<p>Yes, I'm talking about likelys for recruited athletes.</p>

<p>Along that note, do all recruited athletes get likely letters? Or is it just for their absolute number one recruits?</p>

<p>Depends on which school, which sport, and which time of year.</p>

<p>Ok, Byerly... how about Harvard, track, early action? :)</p>

<p>Possibly, if the coach pushes you and your app is strong enough otherwise.</p>

<p>waiting, waiting, waiting....</p>

<p>All recruiting for my D sport at Yale is ed.</p>
