wittgenstein '21–'22 app cycle Class of 2025 class year

Initially offered $123k by Lewis and Clark; negotiated up to $132k. Likely would have gotten further with negotiations had I more leverage in the form of scholarships from other schools, but didn’t care to bother applying elsewhere besides the 2 moonshot Ivies.
