Scholarship negotiation with acceptances (not offers)
Is it possible to negotiate scholarships on the basis that you were accepted to a higher ranked school (without a scholarship offer) but expressed sincere interest in attending the lower ranked one? E.g., negotiating $ from UVA with acceptances at Columbia and Penn?
