Hi everyone. I have been accepted to my top-choice school which is a private T50. I have 2 offers from one OOS and IS school which are both cheaper than the private school. I want to negotiate aid and both are T100. I know the worst they can say is no, but is it worthwhile to still try or will it look bad?
 
As long as you are respectful of them and their time and efforts and appreciative of the offer/opportunity they have provided you, there is no harm in asking.
