when to negotiate?
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:38 pm
So here's the deal:
Duke already sent out its FinAid decision by the time I received Cornell's, but it still hasn't reached me at my international address (has been 2 wks already). I suspect that their offer would not be as high as Cornell's because I was accepted off their priority reserve. Duke's deposit deadline is Apr.29 and it requires me to withdraw from all acceptances so I need to decide soon.
I want to call Duke tomorrow and try to find out how much (if any) $ I'm getting, would they release such info over the phone, or should I just wait for the letter? And is it too late to negotiate at this time?
Or perhaps I should ask for an extension to the deposit until the FinAid decision arrives?
any help would be appreciated!
