<p>What is the likelihood of receiving a likely letter if the person applied early and was deferred?</p>

2

<p>If you are talking about getting accepted, then it depends on your stats.</p>

3

<p>A lot of people that I know that applied that year regular received likely letters. I was just wondering if someone that was deferred could receive a likely letter. Is it even possible?</p>

4

<p>No, it isn’t. Why would it be? lol</p>

5

<p>Then it was just a rumor. Thanks!</p>

<p>The whole point of a likely letter is to show that the school really wants you in the hope that, when accepted, you will choose them over your other colleges.</p>

<p>1) If you apply early you are bound to go so they don’t have to try to persuade you to go if they want you.</p>

<p>2) If the school wants you enough to send you a likely letter than I they would have just taken you early.</p>

<p>3) The only reason I can think of for this to happen is if the applicant pool turns out to be atrocious and they realize that they made a big mistake not admitting you early and don’t want you to hold it against them once they admit you in the RD round.</p>

<p>It happens, but probably not too often –</p>

<p>That applicant was unique because she didn’t take the SAT until some time in the fall of her senior year (and did very well - 1580, I think).</p>
