…and I was content to go there, especially with the scholarship. The only thing that could have changed my mind was Harvard, as I knew I’d get aid, or a better offer from Duke. Didn’t apply for aid at NW, GULC, or CLS. Wasn’t interested in those schools since NW and CLS acceptances came after Harvard. I chose Harvard…

…your materials. Don’t be afraid to ask for more $ during scholarship reconsideration, even if you don’t have a competing offer! Saying ‘I will commit on the spot if you offer X’ can be very powerful. Find some friends who are also going through this process. It makes the journey so much easier.
