I wonder if the order that LLs go out depends on last name? Probably more likely that it depends on time the application was submitted....either way, I can still hope!!

@2698036070922 What's the name of the FB group? I tried searching it, but no luck...

Nene22

Congrats guys! Can't imagine how it must feel!

A question tho- do internationals stand a chance of getting one?

^ I have heard of an international student getting Likely Letters from Ivies. It's extremely rare though!

I'm an international student with a likely letter from Spain, so I'd say yes. To answer amatore, I'll post my stats when decisions officially come out, and I sent the Common App very close to December 30th.

oh thanks for that! =D
Wouldn't hurt to keep checking my mail over the next month would it? :P haha XD

FYI for likely letter recipients -- Somehow, I just managed to get into the admitted students website with my Eli account information. Maybe now we can get our class t-shirts

Based on the posts on this thread, it appears to me that Yale has expanded the use of likely letters as a recruiting strategy.

^ I think Ivies as a whole are looking at their RD pool and issuing likelies to few hundred (depending on the school) to make them feel wanted. Columbia issued a bunch early last week, Penn issued them on Friday, Dartmouth has been issuing them over the last two months (someone told me their alum request came after they already got a likely from Dartmouth). Not sure how Harvard is doing them although one poster on this thread mentioned receiving it from several Ivies including Harvard so far based on her postings in each thread.

Yes, we can indeed get our class t-shirts

Just wondering if non-Ivies send out Likely Letters as well?

Duke has sent them a few weeks ago.

UChicago sends a few academic ones and a lot more sports ones according to Chicago thread.

Do you think Yale is finished sending whatever liely letters they were going to send? No one has posted about it in a weeke or more. Columbia just sent theirs out last week.
