They upped me to $5k from $3k. I'm actually not a native GA resident but I've been living here since May-ish so they also gave me in state, putting the total at around $12k-$13k a year. Still waiting to hear back from Emory and GSU about scholarship info, but I've been offered a free ride at Mercer which I hope helps some in negotiating. I plan on telling them that although their tuition rates are already a great deal compared to other schools in the state (ie; Emory, Mercer), I would still have to relocate to Athens and pay for rent there (I currently don't pay to live in ATL, nor would I have to while in law school if I stayed here), which is obviously a pretty significant additional cost. Does anyone have experience with actually soliciting more merit scholarship money from UGA? I am obviously going to include my offers from other GA schools, but do you guys think it would also be helpful to include other OOS schools, or are these less relevant?
