I have received 2 full tuition + stipend scholarships from T10 schools, and 1 full tuition scholarship from a T10 school which is probably my top choice and the "lower" ranked of the three. Would it be distasteful to leverage the full tuition + stipend offers to see if I can get a stipend from the third school?
I don't want to not ask if the opportunity is there, but also don't want to seem super awful/distasteful by the third school since they have already given me full tuition. (I'm really thankful for all the offer as is!)
Any input appreciated!

No reason not to. The worst they can do is say no.

I might roll my eyes at you if it weren't for the fact that you already have full tuition + stipend scholarships from peer schools. You clearly have leverage so I don't think the school would find it distasteful or think you were being ungrateful.

Just make sure that your language doesn't come over as arrogant or demanding.berkeleykel06 wrote:I might roll my eyes at you if it weren't for the fact that you already have full tuition + stipend scholarships from peer schools.
