<p>does princeton send likely letters to anyone besides athletes?</p>
<p>Yes. They, like their Ivy peers will use LLs to stake their claim with other outstanding applicants.</p>
<p>Do you consider yourself possibly one of these?</p>
<p>no, my son already attends princeton. a friend’s daughter received one.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that only athletes received LL in the fall? Regardless, congratulations to your friend’s daughter!</p>
<p>mathgirl: some uber applicants get picked from the larger pool and the schools put on the full court press to get these kids to matriculate. I interview for an HYP (not Princeton). I was to meet with a non-athlete applicant who had Likely Letters from both H and Y. I met her and frankly, she was quite noisome. She didn’t attend my college but the other one. Later I found out she won a Rhodes.</p>
<p>Thank you for clearing that up! I happen to know which HYP you interview for and with her bad attitude I can’t say that I’m sorry she didn’t matriculate there, despite winning a Rhodes…</p>

<p>hahaha ignoring the fact that i needed a dictionary to read your post, is your use of noisome the same as the dictionary definition, stating that “noisome” means “having an extremely offensive smell”? I’m curious…</p>
<p>I am pretty sure he means that she was unpleasant, not that she smelled bad…</p>
<p>^ Yes, unpleasant in nature, not environmentally. Plz excuse my stretched usage of the adjective. LOL</p>
<p>^ alright, just wanted to clarify ;)</p>
