Hey Y'all

Does anybody have any experience flexing their Harvard, Stanford, or Yale acceptance to other schools like Columbia or Penn for $? I haven't received any $ from these, but I've heard of people flexing their acceptances and getting stuff like a Hamilton or Butler or just some $ from these and other schools when you say you've been accepted to the top 3.

I have gotten $ from other schools but not too much.

How do you go about this?

You'd go about it like you'd go about any other negotiation. You'd inform them about your YSH offer, say you really like their school, but are now having a really hard time making a decision. Is there anything they could do?

You probably shouldn't expect a named scholly at Columbia, but maybe a lesser amount of aid is possible.

Don't "flex," don't come across as arrogant or boastful or like the school should be thrilled to have a YSH admit consider slumming it with them. CCNP admits routinely also get into YSH - the applicant pool overlaps to a huge extent.

Also, if you got into Yale, IMO no need to mention also getting into Harvard. A Yale admission gets the point across. Mentioning Harvard would be redundant and might come across as needless boasting (extremely rare to have a Y admit not also get into H, given H's huge class size).
