<p>I got one today as did my friend!</p>

<p>My school has four people who received likely letters which is extremely uncommon because last year we had only one person who was given admission.</p>

<p>Did anyone else receive one?</p>

2

<p>I got one today too! So excited! Maybe we will see each other this fall!</p>

3

<p>So did I…I’m kinda speechless. Does anybody know of anyone who ever got rejected after receiving this letter?</p>

<p>Congrats all. To be rejected at this point, you’d have to do something major (which would get you rejected everywhere anyway). See no. 6 in the first post on this thread:</p>

<p>Are you all who received the letters, major science people, athletes, or just brilliant in every area. </p>

<p>Or are you just “regular”…at least for Yale that is</p>

<p>My stats actually aren’t very over the top. 3.9 gpa, 2200 SAT, Asian. However, I have great ECs and probably good recs.</p>

7

<p>Do international students get likely letters?</p>

<p>Do the letters come via snail / email?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>^ Regular mail preceded by a phone call in DD’s case.</p>

<p>CoolRunning,</p>

<p>What are your daughter’s stats? :)</p>

12

<p>^ IM, it really is not about dry stats, it is about the story. And, yes, she has the stats.</p>

13

<p>Did all of you who got Likely Letters have Alumni interviews?I noticed CoolRunning’s D didn’t have one,what about the rest of you?</p>

14

<p>LLs and interviews aren’t correlated. It’s due to when Yale considers who is a LL candidate. Often it’s before the bulk of interviews are even offered. Sometimes, it’s early enough where they tell the alumni group:“Susie is going to get a LL” – usually this means the alumni group will put Susie on the back burner or not even offer an interview at all – since her decision has already been made. Sometimes, they’ll ask us to interview the LL holder as a means to further sell Yale. I did this once for an indifferent girl who already had a Harvard LL. She wasn’t pleasant at all. Glad Harvard got her.</p>

15

<p>No interview and no phone call, but that may have been because I called them to confirm.</p>

16

<p>I got a likely letter as well! I was incredibly excited… The man who called said he loved my butterfly essay.</p>

<p>Congrats, Kittystarr!!!</p>
