How to haggle for money from different schools?

Hey everyone, I'm deciding right now between BC and Fordham. BC is giving me a little more cash than Fordham and I wanna try the whole haggling thing that I hear people do all the time. However I'm a little lost and was wondering if TLS could help me out. From what I've read on the site, it seems that you say something akin to "I'm interested in Fordham, however school X is giving me $xxxx. financial aid is extremely important to me, and I was wondering if I could request an amount comparable to that?"" I know thats a really bad way of putting it but that just shows how lost I am. Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you,
Bigsby

Many, many threads on negotiating in the Financial Aid forum.
