Who gets LIKELY LETTERS?

Applying to College
1

<p>Who gets likely letters other than recruited athletes or people who already have a connection with the university? For top-tier/ivy league schools, do normal applicants get them, and if so, when?</p>

<p>Very very few students get them</p>

<p>Has anyone here gotten one? If so, what was your situation? Thanks!</p>

<p>it’s mostly athletes or special people like that, but veryyy rare:/</p>

<p>What non-athletes get likely letters? The ones that HYPSM will battle one another over. Yes, each season a few hundred of those exist. These are the types that in 4-5 years are Rhodes and Fulbright scholars. </p>

<p>In 20+ years, I’ve interviewed only one out of some 250 interviewees. Frankly she was quite noisome and I wasn’t sad when she turned down my HYP’s offer for another HYP college. Four years later, she was a Rhodes winner. Not a surprise either.</p>

<p>waitingforivy: If you have to ask, then you’re not one of them. Stop obsessing.</p>

<p>Thanks for help and information!</p>

<p>But jeez, chill, I’m not obsessing. I’m wondering. There’s a difference.</p>
