Asking for more money after deposit

Post by imperspective » Tue May 24, 2016 5:05 pm

Hello...

It's quite late in the cycle, but I feel like I can get a bigger scholarship. I'm thinking about sending an email and saying that I am considering dropping out this cycle and retaking the LSAT and reapplying later due to cost concerns. I was at their median LSAT and .01 under their 75th percentile GPA.

I already sent an email asking for more not long before the deposit was due, but I did not talk about going for another cycle. Surprisingly (or not?), the email was not responded to.

What do ya think?

I successfully negotiated from half to full tuition scholarship after seat deposit at the school I've decided to attend. There is no harm in asking.

Edit: Don't know your timeline but it took a couple weeks for the school to respond in my case.
