…help you with controlling day-of nerves. **Scholarship negotiation: **You won’t get what you don’t ask for- ask for more time, more money. But be strategic- know you may only have one shot to make your case. Be honest, be sincere, and do your research. If you have the money or the fee waiver, apply to 2-3 schools in…
