Tallgirl: sorry, I have been away, so haven’t responded. My daughter received LL OFFERS, but she only ACCEPTED one - hope that clarifies it!! There was one ivy that did offer her a LL knowing that she was talking to other ivies that she might choose over them, and were still giving it to her knowing that she might not take it. However, the LL that she did accept, & wanted more, was generated so quickly that it came to her first. So, she told the ivy that was going to send her one regardless not to send it as she wouldn’t be going to their program. So, only one LL was sent to her, & that is to the school she will attend Hope that clears it up! No matter how many LLs you are offered, it is best to just accept one, with the one exception being what my daughter experienced - that is, if a school says they are going to send you one anyway without you having given them a full verbal commitment - then they are doing that knowing they are taking on the risk of you not using it.
Good luck with your process through this :)
