Negotiating with Duke, NYU, Chicago, and Columbia
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2015 11:48 pm
Current scholarship offers:
Columbia: Still pending
UChicago: $75,000
NYU: $67,500
Duke: $105,000 (I got a deposit deadline extension until 5/1.)
Since Duke has the highest amount of scholarship money (and the lowest COA), I'm planning to negotiate with NYU using Duke, and then negotiate with Columbia and UChicago using the hopefully increased NYU offer.
Am I taking the right strategy? Would there be a better way to do it? Any thoughts will be really appreciated!
