<p>Just guessing. And was wrong.</p>
<p>Got one too!
I’m ecstatic!</p>
<p>I just received a SEAS likely letter… </p>
<p>How much weight do they carry when it comes down to admissions?</p>
<p>pretty much means you’re in so long as you dont mess up too bad.</p>
<p>nk9230 - How recently do you mean by “just?” Does this mean that likely letters are not sent all at once?</p>
<p>They’re sent out in waves, apparently.</p>
<p>My D got her likely letter yesterday, Sunday, by email. Hard copy will be mailed out today.
She also got a likely letter from Yale two weeks ago, so it’s been an intersting January.</p>
<p>yeah. just got mine for SEAS yesterday!! so psyched right now.</p>
<p>additionally, i called the admissions office to ask them how much impact this likely status would have on the decision and the lady on the other end was being so ambiguous…she was like “it is exactly as it says in the email…” </p>
<p>the email says “you can expect to receive favorable word,” so does that mean, given that I don’t screw up academically or break the law, I will receive an acceptance on March 31st/April 1st?</p>
<p>in conjuction with my last message, i feel as though they wouldnt send you this thing unless they were confident enough in one’s application, right? because this has been a serious ego boost in the past 24 hours. the nature of letter is leading me to assume that i am completely in (given the small conditions stated previously). i think if it is not essentially a guaranteed admission, then this letter could seriously mislead people.</p>
<p>anyone getting these for Columbia College or are they all for SEAS?</p>
<p>^ Seconded :D</p>
<p>My D’s was SEAS.</p>
<p>Any idea how many likely letters are sent?</p>
<p>are more likelies sent to SEAS?</p>
<p>Usually, a wave of SEAS likelies goes out before CC. I’m quite surprised there hasn’t been any CC likelies yet…</p>
<p>Creepin through a thread from 2008, I saw that someone from CC had posted he/she received a likely letter on Feb 12</p>
<p>Yeah, but in 2009, they were sent as early as January 22nd. So, who knows? Either way, they’re rare as anything, so might as well njot even worry.</p>
<p>you’re right. Further creeping has confirmed this fact :)</p>
<p>I WILL NOT REST until I get/hear that other people have gotten likely letters for CC!!!
dun dun dunnnnnnn lol</p>
<p>I understand that these letters are “rare,” but Im still kind of skeptical whether this letter guarantees that I am in or not- even with a strong mid-year report.</p>
<p>CC letters are out! (today) 
:)</p>
<p>But really, they couldn’t have gotten that far into the application pool. So, STOP WORRYING!</p>
