Withdrew today, hope that one of y'all gets my scholarship. Good luck!

So are we thinking there will be a scholarship wave today?

I just received a first offer of merit-based aid. I got in mid-Feb, requested consideration at the beginning of March.

It was less than I asked, and my intent to enroll for is due 4/11. Undecided as to whether I'll try to negotiate or just withdraw.

Just to be clear, this was an unsolicited request and not a response to the feeler email?

Meanwhile hotline has emailed me some bs about receptions THAT I'VE ALREADY RSVPED TO. Just say no money or some money and go. Sheesh.

I sent an unsolicited request that was pretty vague and didn't specify an amount, and then about 2 weeks later they asked how much would make a difference in my thinking.

+180, talk money or don't talk at all

[you what]

Just FYI for those asking - three weeks from merit aid request to offer (never did get feeler email). And I got accepted in November, so I've been waiting a while. Hope those of you waiting also heard something today!

About three weeks between request and response. Initial offer of no merit aid, which means the difference in Georgetown and UT/Vandy for me is about $100K. As much as I like Georgetown, I don't think I could justify that difference. Hopefully they'll be more receptive to a renegotiation once I lay everything out.

Sent some questions to the hotline email about 3-4 business days ago and no response yet. Are they that backed up?

I emailed about 5 business days ago and just got a response.

Did you get the no offer today?

Yep, this morning. Sending in an initial negotiation email later today.

Was awarded about 32k/year as an Opportunity Scholarship! It's so tasty! New deadline looks like 4/11 for folks in this wave.

[BirdLawExpert]

Those who have negotiated, to whom did you address your negotiation letter?

Whoo, congrats! Much deserved!

[janderson821]

I didn't address any specific person. I just sent it to the admitted students hotline.

Sent to the hotline, but addressed Allison Spada who was named as my point person in the e-mail.

Many thanks to the law firm of Alderson & Anderson.

Congrats! Would you mind sharing your timeline (dates of acceptance, aid request, feeler email, etc.)?

Sure! Accepted in January, didn't get a feeler email, sent an unsolicited email requesting merit aid in mid-March, sent a follow up a few weeks later. I got an email next day that sounds similar to the feeler email and I replied immediately. (PM me if interested in specifics on any of this).

[JeanLucPicard]

Being on this merit scholarship "hold" list is the worst!!

[kylethedog]

Just got a small bump in my opportunity scholarship, sent in a negotiation email a week ago

[JuliusCaesar]

Just got a scholarship increase, but it does not show on the "myaccess" site. Is there a certain wait time before it shows up there?

This happened to me as well! I just got an Opportunity Scholarship increase, but the MyAccess is not reflecting that. I'm guessing it takes a bit of time?

[zozo1717]

I was about to check out of here, but Georgetown just sent me a pretty competitive offer (I was originally an alternate). Ah! Decisions, decisions...

Yea, I am assuming it is just a system thing that takes time. I am going to call tomorrow about something unrelated, so if it isn't updated by then I will bring it up.
