Thanks again for all your replies. I intend to negotiate the scholarships and remove or lower the GPA requirement, but I haven't heard of anyone having success or even trying to accomplish this. Has anyone on here been successful in this regard? If so, any suggestions?

I got packets from NY Law School and Penn State today. PSU is offering $15k/year with the requirement of staying in the top half of the class. I wouldn't choose PSU over Rutgers or Miami unless it was a significantly better deal, which it isn't. NYLS is offering $30k/year but I have to enter the honors program and remain in the top 15% of the class. NYLS was my safety and I was only seriously considering it if I received a full scholarship or it was my only choice

I don't think either offer changes anything, but could help with negotiations. If anyone has thoughts, please feel free to share.
