I applied so broadly because I wanted to try and negotiate scholarships. Unfortunately the only scholarship I was able to negotiate at all was at GULC. Looking back, I would have just blanketed the T20 + ND and ignored the rest, but I am nonetheless thankful for a successful cycle. GO BLUE!
…scholarships: all aid was merit + first offers (did not negotiate)

…at UVA and NU. I don’t know why my scholarship negotiations went so poorly, so it’s hard to say what the misstep was. The one appeal that was successful (Chicago) only came after an in-person meeting with their financial aid team where we didn’t even talk about my appeal. Try to make a human connection, I suppose?…
…blanket them all to give yourself the maximum possible negotiating power.
…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!
…Waiver. Was hoping for a scholarship that I could use to negotiate at other schools. They put me on hold and asked me to do a supplemental application form which I completed. Notified by email. Got this A with a scholarship below what I was looking for. Withdrew on 12/12. UMD**:** Did not do any supplemental essays.…
…w/r/t a particular school’s interview and/or scholarship negotiation process. Once you apply, try to put everything out of sight and out of mind for a while.

…and I am so excited to attend in the fall! Scholarship negotiation was a total bust. I didn’t have much leverage with such gaps in either cost or ranking. Still, if you told me at the beginning of the cycle that I would pay less than half tuition at UVA, I would have been over the moon. It’s easy to feel a little…

…ffs. They really mean it when they say you have no room to negotiate. Don’t be surprised Pikachu by $0. 7Sage’s regression modeling “chance me” thing-a-doo is shit for outliers such as URMs and splitters, let alone URM splitters. Be careful on the internet. It isn’t just adcomms that are watching, but also your…
…chances and get decisions earlier to have more time to negotiate scholarships/aid, but I think it’s more important to send in the best application possible. Even as a first gen college grad with a good LSAT and an interesting story/career path, it still took a lot of fine tuning to create an application that had a…
Chose HLS for unicorn PI placement and the LIPP/LRAP. Aid figures are all first offers - did not negotiate. I had a far better cycle than I expected. I did not have any conventionally prestigious fellowships or softs, my extracurriculars were pretty standard, my interview skills are subpar. I suspect what helped my…
