Full Ride from Two Schools - Withdraw from the lesser?
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 10:17 am
I was offered a full ride to two local schools, one clearly better than the other in every respect, though both considerably less awesome than my first choice (to which I was accepted already but for whose scholarship offer I'm still holding out and daily praying over to Satan).
My question is this: Is there any strategic reason to hold onto the scholarship/acceptance to the lesser school at this point?
Also: Regarding using scholarship offers from one school as leverage toward getting offers at another, what is the maximum ranking disparity that can exist between the two schools before the tactic becomes hilariously ballsy/ineffective?
