I need help with my scholarship negotation!!

Hi guys, before I get started, let me share some info about myself..
I have been accepted to two schools so far (school A and school B), (I haven't received letters from any other schools, partially due to my late application completion) and have been offered a 22k scholly from school B (similar ranking as A but bit lower).

Right now, I am trying to negotiate with school A for some scholarship money, as they have offered me nada.
Now the question is, should I send in my letter asking for reconsideration of scholarship money now, or should I wait until I hear from other schools that might offer me some scholly money?

I am not sure if I want to wait longer since the seat deposit date is approaching, and I am afraid that I might be too late to ask for any reconsideration.

Can any angels out here in TLS help me?! :oops:

Thanks!

Send now. Aren't your deadlines for seat deposits (money in hand) two weeks from tomorrow?

Actually, it's April 29th so I have little over a month.. Should I wait a little more to hear from other law schools to increase my negotiating leverage or should I just send in what I got?

Thanks a lot.
