Is Likely Letter only for Engineering college? How about math/applied math?

<p>Just wondering if the likely letter of ~100 STEM people are only reserved for School of Engineering and Science?</p>

<p>Will math/applied math applicants be given likely letters this early? </p>

<p>Thanks and congrats to those lucky 100 LL holders.</p>

<p>They aren’t solely for Eng students – they are for whomever Yale feels would benefit from this extra sort of courting. In the past, a variety of students rec’d the LLs. Plus they don’t all go out at once.</p>

<p>But even all this is what Yale has done in the past. They could throw out that template if it serves their purposes. THere is no set protocol.</p>

<p>I was given a LL and I was a pure math applicant - didn’t apply to the school of engineering, and listed “Mathematician” as my desired career.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>@straightchillin: did you compete in AMC/AIME/USAMO or do anything else math-related extracurricularly? Just curious</p>

<p>I was a USAMO Qualifier last year and a JMO Qualifier the two years before. Siemens semis for research, math summer programs, other random competitions (Mandelbrot? CMO? ARML captain?)…the list of math ECs was long, but USAMO/Siemens were (presumably) what mattered.</p>
