<p>Fav,</p>
<pre><code>I think so, as someone in India got likely-letter from Dartmouth last month.

<p>My stats, mostly copied and pasted from another forum:</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<pre><code>* SAT: 2280 (800 CR, 770 M, 710 W)
- SAT II: 800 Math 2, 800 Physics, 800 Chemistry, 750 US History, 540 Japanese (shouldn’t have attempted this . . .)
- GPA: I’m homeschooled. For my independent study classes, my parents basically grade me (they gave me all A’s). I’ve also taken a LOT of college classes and gotten all A’s in those.
- Rank: 1 out of 1 . . .
- Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): A lot of math competitions. Best AMC series: AMC 12 130.5, AIME 9, USAMO 11
</code></pre>
<p>[ b]Subjective</p>
<pre><code>* Essays: Common App essay was very good. Brown essay was marginal, but conveyed my passion for math pretty well.
- Teacher Recs: One from math team coach - excellent. One from college professor (philosophy) - probably great. One from Mathcamp instructor - probably excellent
- Counselor Rec: My parents. Typical parent stuff, I doubt they put too much weight on this.
- Supplementary Material: I sent my term paper from philosophy for some reason. I’m not sure why I included it, but it was pretty good.
- Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): Homeschooled? I’m not sure what influence that has.
</code></pre>
<p>Personal</p>
<pre><code>* Location: Maryland
- High School Type: Homeschooled
- Ethnicity: White
- Gender: Male
- Applied for Financial Aid: Y
</code></pre>
<p>Other</p>
<pre><code>* Extracurriculars: Few. Mainly a ton of involvement with my homeschoolers’ math club and math team, general extracurricular math, and then I listed a few interests, like politics and reading.
- Awards: Math competition stuff - USAMO Qualifier, Tiebreakers at ARML, first tier Mandelbrot . . .

<p>The letter basically said that they had completed their review of my application and had decided to give it “likely” status, that this essentially guaranteed acceptance, that only a very small number of people get these letters, and then a lot of stuff about how wonderful Brown is.</p>
<p>This makes me happy… we have the same SAT scores and you recieved a likely letter. Completely different interests beyond that, but at least I know it won’t be my scores that hurt my chances of getting in.</p>
<p>congrats!</p>
<p>did you get any email notification or was it only in regular mail?</p>
<p>Wow congrats! I did not know brown did these letters!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Anyone know how many likelys are sent out?</p>
<p>If this is true, congratulations! :)</p>
<p>(I don’t doubt you, but I’ll be a little bit skeptical unless others corroborate your claim… then again, since only a few are sent out, that probably won’t happen.)</p>
<p>Haha, I’m so jealous! Congrats!</p>
<p>wow, I didn’t know Brown sent out likely letters. congrats though.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get one of these?
You seem like a totally qualified candidate that has a high chance of getting in regardless, but I am just wondering because it just seems suspicious if only 1 person got it, you know? haha.</p>
<p>I know someone that got one a few days ago.</p>
<p>Brown doesn’t send out likely letters.</p>
<p>I’m telling the truth, don’t worry. I’m also surprised that no one else has reported getting one, but I tend to get mail very quickly (I got my Caltech acceptance letter in 2 days, and that was coming from 3000 miles away!), so if they sent them all out at the same time many people will probably get theirs tomorrow or Saturday.</p>
<p>100Canadian: No email, just regular mail.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
