So let's fast forward and I get multiple acceptances. How do I go about bargaining for more financial aid? Is that a smart thing to do? Any drawbacks from doing that?
Did you message the financial aid office of the school?I was actually able to bargain to get an extra 10,000 off per year at an out of state school. My leverage was the fact that my state school was cheaper and I had already been accepted and put down my deposit. I was upfront an honest with the OOS school of my situation and I asked politely if there was anything they could do to financially to reduce the cost of OOS. Moral of the story is, yes it is still possible, I did it last cycle. Just like any negotiation though, you will never receive if you don't ask for it and you have to have some sort of leverage. Hope this helps
Really curious about this.Anyone negotiate with their in state? lol
Phone call with the dean of admissions. Interpersonal communication is a powerful leveraging tool if you are honest and sincere!Did you message the financial aid office of the school?
