Does a likely letter guarantee admission?

Hi guys, I'm a little confused about likely letters. If you receive one, does it mean you're basically guaranteed admission to that college? What are the chances of being rejected after getting a likely letter? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello and thank you for reaching out with your question. A likely letter is indeed an indication that the college is very interested in you and that you stand out among the applicants. While it's not an official offer of admission, receiving a likely letter is a very positive sign. It generally means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, such as significant changes in your academic performance or serious conduct issues, you can expect to receive an official acceptance from the college. The chances of being rejected after getting a likely letter are very low. Just remember to maintain your current level of academic achievement and uphold your personal conduct. Best wishes to you!
