Got mine just now as well, not bad although I would have liked a little more.

One thing I'm curious about is if we accept the scholarship and pay the seat deposit by the early date of 4/11, does this mean we can no longer negotiate with them if we receive offers from other schools?

I am also curious about this. Can anyone provide some insight on how receptive NU is to negotiating?

Was at the DC dinner, and was super impressed by the alums, other admits, and Prof Lupa/Johann. If I wasn't as good as committed elsewhere NU would be a top choice. It was the best accepted students reception I've been to so far, hands down.

Damn, just got mine as well. Highest offer so far. This complicates things a bit...

Hands up if you got no money!!!

(but for real, I'm a little disappointed, but still thrilled with having the opportunity to attend such an awesome school)

wow, i really hope they continue to be generous with recent admits (who have yet to submit their essays!)

So letter says the sholly was based on merit and need. Does this mean that this is the total financial package? Or could there be grants on top of this?

I'm guessing it's total.

That is correct.

Got a pretty generous offer...I have no idea where to go. Do you think they're open to negotiations or would that be pushing it?

stewart23 · Post by **stewart23** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 3:57 pm

Congrats to all of the Scholly recipients! The offer I received makes NU cost competitive with Michigan. This is going to be a tough decision.

Nothing to lose by trying.

NU has really shaken things up today for a lot of people w/ all the money they're throwing around.

Ann Arbor is for undergrads. Come to a city.
(Fingers crossed you're not also considering NYU.)

No money here either. Although with full GI Bill + YR my tuition is effectively $5k/year and I get a $2K/month housing allowance. Still, NU could've thrown me a $5k/year scholly offer just to make it a nice, round zero tuition.

Still, pending some magic coming out of other quarters I'll be attending NU this fall!

Any chance Michigan matches an NU offer? NU offered me ~$7500 a year more.

So did I completely miss on TLS that NU sends us a container of Garret's popcorn?? I love this school...

Michigan is higher ranked and roughly 10k a year cheaper than NU already. Not sure how much that would factor into Mich's decision making, but it doesn't hurt to try.
