im curious to those of you that got the feeler email & the scholarship offer today.. how close were they to matching what you asked for?

Not even half, which wasn't a huge surprise considering

[gamerish]

DId anyone else get a feeler email back in Feb and then not receive a scholarship email today (saw that a bunch went out)? Getting annoyed if there truly is a 4/1 deadline and I'm going to have less than two weeks to decide.

yep, got the feeler- no scholly offer yet.

Same

I asked for full tuition and they gave me 120k.

What's your plan? I asked for full, but didn't get an email. I'm also not doing any Gtown-related activities until after April 1st. Everyone having an ASW that weekend sucks. It's like how am I to decide where I want to go if all of you are doing crap on the same day? Depending on the tone of the email, I could see myself being like cool... bye or sending one email, like no really, find the money.

Is anyone planning to ask for a deadling extension.

[skimmilk]

I asked for full tuition (in response to the feeler email) and was offered about half. I will likely be withdrawing soon. To withdraw does one typically just email admissions?

I've withdrawn by sending an email to admissions thanking them for their hard work and consideration and then I briefly explain why I am withdrawing. Sometimes they send you a questionnaire to fill out or respond with a couple of questions. But mostly they just say "good luck in your future endeavors" and that's it...you're withdrawn.

I didn't ask for a specific number (mistake?), and was offered 20k/yr. Very disappointed. My only real competing offer is 15k/yr from Michigan. Not sure how to proceed, but it will probably take around 40k/yr from GULC to actually lure me away from Mich.

send michigan your georgetown scholarship and ask them to bump then send georgetown your bumped michigan scholarship and ask them to bump.
if michigan doesn't bump say something about COL in DC or something and send them your michigan scholarship and tell them you want moar

I'm leaning toward sending GULC my Michigan scholarships and asking them to bump first, mostly because a) I don't think GULC's current offer will cause Mich to budge, and b) I think I can make a compelling case to GULC based on COL and the fact that Mich is the better school.

Do you think that would be a mistake to approach it that way?

I don't know anything about this stuff, but I think you need to pick out some specific data points to define better school.

if you want to go gulc-mich-gulc then you can do that idk if you'll have the time for that with people saying april 1 deadline but idk i'm not a negotiating expert

if you want to actually consider gulc and want to try to get the scholarship raised they probably won't bump you 2x for a smaller scholarship to a peer school

[jlopez]

Do you guys think 75% at GULC would be enough to go there vs. a top ten school?

[SD619]

Do they send these out in waves? Wondering why I got the feeler email but no offer email today. Anyone else still waiting on offer?

[darlenealderson]

I really would need to negotiate this up to convince me to pick this over my top choice at sticker...but at this point I really don't have anything to negotiate with in terms of peer offers (and I haven't negotiated the lower-tier offers up because they're realistically out of consideration for me, but now I'm regretting that as they could have been tools here). Any thoughts/advice? Can I use admission at higher ranked schools to negotiate for money here? This timeline is completely throwing me for a loop.

This is a weird binary choice. Like 75% vs full cost Michigan probably Georgetown yeah

Negotiate with the lower schools now.

Negotiate with your top choice.

Yale, yes. Cornell, no.

You'll have to answer all the questions in your choosing forum thread.

I'll take this question to that thread so it's a little more relevant.

Now that the first round of scholarship offers begun to roll out, we have a new poll. Hopefully this is helpful for those still negotiating and waiting to hear back about an initial offer.

[missie]

For those of you who are responding to initial offers, are you addressing them to your admissions contact assigned at the bottom of the email, or directly responding to Andy?

[nyc15]

I received the feeler email in early February and did not receive an offer last night. Do we know that they're sending offers out in waves or is this a sign of no merit aid?

[threatlevelmidnight]

If you directly respond to the @hotline email, it will go to admissions/Alison Spada. It's the same email. They're not going to Andy, at least I don't think so.
