I'm accepted and likely matriculating at a medical school (A) that I'm very pleased with, but several days ago I was offered another acceptance at a different medical school (B) that is comparably prestigious. While I'm split 70-30 this point on attending A over B based on quality of overall education and experience alone, it's hard to overlook that B is about $15-20,000 cheaper in terms of projected cost of attendance relative to A.
My question is, would it be possible to contact A and notify them that B is cheaper, and to ask about the availability of financial aid to make up that difference? (1) How likely is this to work? (2) Is this considered to be in poor taste, and might I be burning bridges or ruffling feathers if I do choose to matriculate at A?
