Top Law Schools

just one question, is it normal for you to use a more lucrative scholarship from a peer school to negotiate with the dream your school (the one you decided to attend regardless) without paying the deposit to that peer school? Will this dream school actually call that peer school up to see if you have put down deposit? My financial situation doesn't allow me to deposit at multiple schools so I figured why just send my dream school all my offers, but only paying deposit at my dream school (as a gesture that I will be attending and a commitment which most of the schools like)?

thank you.

Not exactly sure what you're asking but I wouldn't try to negotiate with an offer that is no longer open to you because that school's deposit deadline has passed. I would do all of that negotiation before the deposit deadline.

yes it seems like you got what i was saying...thanks !!

It's technically fraud because you're leading them to think the offer exists now. You could say I was offered this, but declined their deadline only because of your school. You have considered out a year if you can't make it make financial sense, but really want to attend their school.

good point. but i meant to show them how much the candidate WAS valued (technically speaking) at other schools.

But of course no school will give a ____ about how much you were valued as long as the offer expired.
