TLS c/o 2020 - In #Squad We Trust Forum

[airwrecka]

The idea of beginning the negotiation process for schollys (whenever I actually hear initial offers from schools...which at the rate this cycle is going feels like never ) is already stressing me out. Reading previous years' threads has made it abundantly clear that we will all be trying to scramble at the last minute as deadlines are looming. Ughhh why couldn't they give us more time for these things?! I feel like I will be living in my e-mail inbox come April.

How do I completely ban George Mason from my google ads? I'm not kidding. It's literally the only thing that plays before videos on youtube and it's infuriating.

It is sad how much I relate to this post.

I have YouTube red so I forget YouTube even has ads honestly.

Yes, but they are still using the same in your face method of advertising.

Minnesota has a really nice car magnet + sticker, but the best is the nalgene from northeastern. It's my daily water bottle now

+1 to the Northeastern nalgene being my office bottle.

Also yes:

Getting real jealous of all the people with parents who are going to help them with expenses.

How should I begin negotiating scholarships? I have a significant offer from Michigan and an ok one from Duke. Should I use those offers to negotiate (along with my WUSTL full ride) with georgetown and then work up? My ultimate goal is to negotiate up to get money from Penn and Columbia.

+1, and could anyone provide an example of a successful negotiation email?

I have the same questions, but I think the best place to get advice is in the Financial Aid forum or Ask a Law Student/Graduate forums. All of us 0Ls are in the same boat, we need advice from the people who have been through this already

There was a really helpful thread on negotiating, but I can try to paraphrase best as I can. Basically, divide the schools into tiers like

CCN
Remaining T13/14
T20

To negotiate up, you need to be coming with a full-ride or close to it from the lower-tier school and you need to have a small offer or no offer from the school you are targeting. IE. Full-ride at WUSTL might get you a bump at sticker or 50k at Cornell

To negotiate peers, any offers that is bigger than your target schools will be competitive.

To negotiate down, you need an approximately equal worth scholarship to upgrade your target. IE. Butler from Columbia can be used to negotiate with a similar amount of $ from UVA.

But, it seems like schools are less willing to negotiate than before and many schools are playing hardball with scholarship negotiations

+1 both of my top choices refused to negotiate or indicated up front they had no intention to. Really sucks.

This may be a stupid question, but say la vee!! Lmao .

If a school offers you a scholarship, does accepting that scholarship constitute binding decision to attend? Are you unable to withdraw/forfeit deposit for another school if you're taken off of a waitlist in the summer?

Usually accepting the scholarship means you have to withdraw all acceptances and scholarship offers received at that time, however you can keep pending WLs in the hopes of getting in later.

Some scholarship offers may still demand that you withdraw from all schools including those with pending decisions.
