<p>Is this a “likely letter”?</p>

<p>I think it depends on how deeply into the process of admission you’ve already gone. If all you’ve done is ask for general information and have not sent official transcripts or test scores or anything relevant to being admitted, then I’d venture to say this is a broad-based invitation from the school–meaning they sent it out to many potential applicants. It would not be a “likely letter” in this circumstance.</p>

<p>However, if you began the application process and sent only part of the materials needed, but not all, then they saw something they liked and are encouraging you to finish the requirements. This may be because they are currently projecting availability of few extra slots at the end of regular-decision period based on the responses they’ve received so far. If you are truly interested in the school and would accept if given the chance, then I’d finish out the process.</p>

<p>I agree with Quillgirl. That’s kind of a likely letter, but not really. It’s still sort of a good sign, though.</p>
