If you did not get a Likely Letter, fear not! Many students do not receive a letter and still get admitted in the Regular Decision round — yet rarely at Ivy Coach since most of our students submit applications during Harvard's Early Action round.
To receive one is rare: Harvard College doesn't release how many likely letters it sends out, but in the past, the school has sent roughly 200 to recruited athletes and 100 to non-athletes.
Each year, Harvard receives nearly 40,000 applications from high school hopefuls. Only 5% of them get a Harvard acceptance letter.
You should also have a 4.2 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score. For a school as selective as Harvard, you'll also need to impress them with the rest of your application. We'll cover those details next.
Applicants are notified by email when a decision is available to view in the Applicant Portal, normally by March 15. You can log in to the Applicant Portal to check the status of your application and track the receipt of required materials.
Unfortunately not. Likely letters don't guarantee admission to a college or university. But they do indicate that the institution sending it is interested in admitting you.
Regular Decision candidates apply by January 1 and receive notification by the end of March.
All Ivy League schools send out likely letters. These schools know they are competing with each other for top applicants. They each want to improve their yield rates and the chance that these top applicants will choose to attend their school.
I am writing to confirm my acceptance of your employment offer from April 1. I am delighted to be joining International Engineering Corporation as a Project Manager. The work is exactly what I have prepared for and hoped to do.
Harvard sends out about 300 Likely Letters annually (photo credit: Chensiyuan). In the highly selective admissions game, colleges sometimes vie for the chance of admitting their most promising applicants. Ivy League schools are at both an advantage and disadvantage when it comes to admitting such students.
