Sorry to hear that.

Did you have any leverage?

I was shot down too, and it seems like it's just their policy not to negotiate. If you really want Emory, maybe try again after the first deposit deadline?

Anyone still waiting to hear on Woodruff status?

Mind sharing what they said specifically?

He was very nice, but firm. Said that unfortunately, they do not negotiate scholarships as they "use a high end of [their] cost of attendance to ensure students have access to the maximum amount of aid."

Submitted mid-December and was just accepted with a scholarship offer. PM for numbers.

accepted today. really nice, personalized message on the acceptance letter. 34k/year - way more than I was expecting. makes this decision really tough. it's the highest-ranked school I've been accepted to, thus far. Hoping this should do the trick in getting cardozo to bump the offer up to full-ride. thoughts?

Received acceptance today in Oregon. Applied early January. 177/3.68

In with 111k. Based on the thread, looks to be their top offer except for the Woodruff.

I'm geographically bound as my partner is going to be an assistant professor at Florida State. Generous scholarship, but below offers I had received from T14 schools before my wife got the job at FSU; nowhere near enough to get me to Atlanta.

"Unfortunately, our scholarship program is independent of other school’s awards"
And yeah I had some pretty decent leverage that I included

My e-mail asking for more got forwarded to the dean who replied very directly and wished me well.

Nothing here for me either. I wonder when they are gonna send something out.

I was under the impression that if we received a scholarship offer already then we were out of the running for Woodruff. Is that not true?

Is anyone here going to the BLSA preview program during ASW?
