Negotiating with Pepperdine

Post by skatekate » Wed Mar 26, 2014 11:43 am

Anyone have experience negotiating with Pepperdine? They did not give me a scholarship.

Would my other scholarships have some leverage?
-Cardozo $31,000 (trying to negotiate more out of them)
-Hastings $18,000
-American $10,000

Retaking the LSAT will give you a ton of leverage.

Oops I should've mentioned that I've taken the LSAT three times already...

Darn. I'd go for 4 then, it's unlikely that any of these schools will negotiate up to a full ride, which is what you would need to justify attending.

After I withdrew from there they e-mailed me back with an offer to double my scholarship. I wasn't wishy-washy when I withdrew though and I didn't ask for more money.

You should definitely try and get some money out of them, I would call or email. I find it very strange you didn't get a large offer from them. I didn't apply to American but got the exact same offers from hastings and cordozo as you and got 30k from pepp

Any luck with re-negotiating? I'm stuck in a very similar situation and I have no idea where to start on attempting them to ask for more money.
