^Likely letters to non-athletes seem to be based on very strong academic records as evidenced by a combination of very high test scores, GPA, and ECs related to field of study. DD who was accepted to Yale SCEA in December subsequently received likely letters in February from Columbia and Chicago on this basis.

@Admissions Addict -- DD had high test scores in math/science but her essays and ECs made quite clear that her primary interests were in humanities. Outstanding humanists DO get likely letters.
