<p>I haven't recieved a likely letter from cornell yet and i live in nyc. Does this pretty much mean i've been rejected?</p>
<p>no. A likely letter isnt an acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Likelies are sent to a select few, the few in the applicant pool that the adcoms really really want. Most admitted students did not receive likely letters, but all who receive likely letters are admitted.</p>
<p>Yea, i just have to keep reminding myself that there may still be some hope left.</p>
