[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale's likely letters are almost always sent to first gen and/or low income kids and most are for STEM. The stats are high but nothing more remarkable than any other strong applicant. And sometimes they're even pretty low--1400s SAT, etc. [b]It's the FGLI status that triggers the letters[/b].

They very, very rarely send them to the typical DCUM demographic. [/quote]

Do they offer money on the call or likely letters? Just because they are nice and welcoming wont magically make the $90k tuition more doable for these FGLI[/quote]

Yale has quite generous financial aid. I’d guess that, in part, it might be to give the prospective students more specific information about things like financial aid, 1st Gen support programs, and the opportunity to make more personal connections with people at the school as they make their decisions.  Many of these kids might not have visited the schools they’ve applied to, so it’s also a heads up that the school is seriously interested in them and worth the investment and —possibly sacrifice — involved to visit the school so that they can make more informed decisions.
