[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please help me understand the purpose of a likely letter. Why is it "likely" and not guaranteed acceptance? How is it different from a regular acceptance letter?[/quote] The Ivies have a gentlemen's agreement to not give out results until Ivy day.[/quote] Fair enough, but how exactly will a likely letter increase yield? A person getting admitted to Yale on February 15 through "likely letters" is significantly less likely to bolt to Harvard/Princeton/Stanford than the same person getting admitted to Yale on March 26 during Ivy Day? Because they get one additional month of thinking about Yale, making Fall plans, visiting campus (if they haven't already), talking to current Yale students, posting their likely letters on Instagram, etc.? What is the rationale behind that?[/quote]
