<p>Hey guys! I know this is kind of a last minute thread but as the time of the decision approaches and the clocks are ticking, I made a holistic overview of what Harvard has sent me..an though they have send me no likely letter, I received by September an odd mail which reads as follows:</p>
<p>"We are writing to offer our congratulations on your academic achievements and to encourage you to consider the opportunities available at Harvard as you plan your academic future...etc"</p>
<p>Would you consider that a form of pre-likely letter? Does it mean I have relatively increased chances of admission?
Btw my other stats are SAT:2200, G.P.A: 45/45 (IB), CLASS RANK: Valedictorian (1st/53)</p>
