…great offers from several great schools that I was able to negotiate up from a half scholarship to a full ride at my top school (seriously, look at my GMU notes. I asked them four times for an increase). Which brings me to my next point on this topic: so long as you have competitive offers, never stop asking all…

Admitted to Baylor University…bigger scholarship than Saint Louis that could be used for negotiation. Same story for Tennessee, Penn State, Baylor, and Texas A&M (competition for Missouri), although Missouri declined to negotiate with my Penn State full ride. The USC and BU applications were also primarily to compete with WashU, though WashU…
…weeks later. My one complaint is that Duke’s scholarship negotiation committee was not very open to negotiations, and my financial aid award did not change after requesting reconsideration. **Yale: **March 07, REJECTED - Well, we all saw this coming. I never expected to get into Yale, being below both medians, but…
…probation) addendum to every school **Scholarship Negotiations: **UF called 3/4 offering me an additional 6k/year (“sunshine stipend”) if I would commit by the following Tuesday. This would have bumped me up to full tuition + a 4.1k stipend. Mentioned this offer to W&M and UGA 3/5. Both got back to me 3/7. W&M…
…for all application fees and all but 10 CAS fees. Did not negotiate with any school since most got back to me after I was happy with other offers.
…schools higher in rankings but sold myself short. Try to negotiate scholarships, and lastly if you get the chance to interview… DO IT. The way you act, think, talk, etc. is far more important to admissions officers who see you as a “maybe” or if you’re on the WL. Good luck homies and Pony Up!
…It was always UT, everywhere I applied was for leverage to negotiate with UT. I have a lot of personal ties to the university and Austin that were hard to give up. Can’t wait to be a Lawhorn!
…and a WL in a two week period. When I first attempted to negotiate with Baylor, I was told they were out of money and would consider me after the deposit deadline. Between Baylor, Miami, and UTK, each school would have cost me around 150k. I was looking for a job to justify R&Ring. A week after Baylor had told me…
…consider going there or it was useful for scholarship negotiation with another school.
Unsolicited increase from Baylor. Solicited increased from Pittsburgh. Negotiations rejected on all other attempts (Richmond, PSU Dickinson, Temple).
