Negotiation Question!

Hello, not sure if this is the right thread, but it did seem more appropriate to post this here than the other thread (Acceptances, D, W)

So far I have been accepted at only one school, waitlisted at 4 and rejected at 3. The school that I have been accepted into is offering me a good scholarship, but it was not my top choice school. I think it would help me make my decision easier if I were receiving a better offer..

I was wondering, is it completely unreasonable to just simply ask if they can raise it offer, without waving acceptance letters from other schools (since I don't have any)?

Any advices would be much appreciated. Thankss!

is it completely unreasonable? no.

but is it a little surprising? yes.

you have no bargaining chips. what is their incentive to offer you more money?
I think it would help me make my decision easier if I were receiving a better offer..
what decision is that? attend w/ the offered money vs... not go to law school?

hope this helps.
