CCN Acceptance as Leverage for T10 Scholarship Negotiation

Post by HangingAround » Fri Nov 06, 2015 5:36 pm

Does anyone have any experience with this working? Or do the schools outside of HYS but within the T10 generally consider themselves peer schools? For example if you got $$ at Michigan and accepted at Chicago, would you be successful in negotiating more money at Michigan? If not, would this change if offered a small amount at Chicago (ie 50k over three years), could you bump up an offer at one of the lower T10s on the perceived prestige difference of CCN and the lower T10, even if that offer was already for more than 50k. Maybe within the T10 but outside HYSCCN this works for some schools and not for others. I doubt Penn would care much but they seem like a bit of an outlier in terms of admission difficulty, scholarship offers, etc.

Anecdotes are very welcome as this seems like it'd be hard to follow on something like LSN unless some kind souls are posting their full cycle updates with dates and are in this situation. I couldn't find a thread specifically on this but if you have come across one in the past, or are much more successful with the search feature, I would be very happy also!

I'd feel like a fool if I didn't do this and it could've helped the ole debt monster. Thanks TLS!

You should definitely try. However, it did nothing for me.
