Just waiting on the financial aid stuff but at least I know I will be in Chicago this fall!!

Congrats, see you in August.

Just got a weird offer. $15K for 2nd and 3rd years, but nothing for the first. Better than nothing, but...

Ahhhhh the offers are pouring in and I ain't got one. I guess this is it.

I imagine this is as close to $0 as they go... has anyone successfully negotiated?

I may give it a shot. It doesn't seem like NU has a ton of money to give out for next year, though.

Will you go to NYU if NU doesn't up it?

Officially sticker for me.

We are writing to inform you that we have allocated and exhausted all available scholarship and grant funding for this year. Scholarships and financial aid is a tremendously difficult matter. Every year, we have many more deserving students than we have funds available and this year is no exception. I am sorry to say that we will be unable to provide you with any scholarship/grant funding.

New Rule: Scholarship people always buy the first round.

I'm gonna miss the elitism from UG of being on a bigger scholarship than everyone around me.

Not for sure, but probably.

With COL, the difference would probably be about $40,000 assuming I get the same level summer associate job my 2L year from either school. I think NYU is probably worth the difference.

Yeah but paying sticker is like street cred for how tough you are, like the people who live in bad neighborhoods before they gentrify, or combat veterans.

Does this mean you've decided on NU?

Not yet. Leaning towards it for the moment. Giving myself until Monday to make my final decision.

What can we do to tip the scales to NU for HGL?
