Negotiating Scholarships/Financial Aid

ApplicantNYC

I've been offered one full ride from a school I'm less interested in and a couple of generous aid packages (appx $45k/year). But even with $45k per year, it is outrageously expensive. Another school is interviewing me for a full ride. I've informed the Admissions departments of the various offers already. Does anyone have specific advice on how to wring that last $13k or so per year out of them? Many thanks.

If you get a full ride at a similarly ranked school, you can use that to negotiate. If not, it doesn't hurt to just ask the school like hey you guys are great really want to attend but cant afford it please help.

How do the offers relate to your top 3 school choices? I like the comments in the other thread @"surfy surf" links to. Maybe also do a very detailed budget and feel free to ask them questions. Also find out the details on any stipulations, like do you need to maintain a certain class rank or GPA and if so, get some numbers if you haven't already done this.
