[quote=Anonymous]It's mostly sort of random. FYI - all the Ivies have early decision/early action and likely letters also go to early applicants. Likely letters are far more typical for recruited Ivy athletes than others. The athletic department asks for these so they don't waste their time recruiting students that won't get admitted. Princeton used to only send likely letters for athletes. At Harvard and Yale a small number (100-200) of applicants are sent likely letters based on academics. The school is trying to make their case before the decision date. They are a little more commonly used for URM applicants. Only applicants who are almost certain to get admitted after just a quick review get a letter. So not getting a likely letter doesn't mean much about an applicant's odds. [/quote]
