Worth trying to negotiate aid from an unranked school to a T30?

[LivinLike-Larry]

I've had the honor to receive pretty much a full COA scholarship from Hackensack Meridian (Have to pay ~$10,000 per year) as well as a 50% tuition scholarship from OSU. I don't really want to close any doors in terms of residency options so I definitely would rather pick OSU, but the price difference is about $190,000 as an OOS student.

A lot of people say to always shoot your shot but I'm not sure if its even worth it in the case of these two and I really do not want to come off as ungrateful, especially because OSU already gave me a scholarship. Also, I lowkey wasn't even expecting a scholarship from either because my stats aren't amazing or anything so I don't want to push any boundaries either. Just wanted some general advise on what might be best.

OSU will say, "Good luck and have a great time at Hackensack."

And with a free ride, the 50 year old you will thank OSU profusely for the thumbs down..

Lol okay bet. That's what I was leaning towards. Thank you!

The worst OSU can say is no if you ask.

Also, someone once told me that you can qualify for in-state at OSU after a year, so look into that! (im not sure on the details tbh)
