Negotiating Scholarships

SaraFromOC

So I recently got into a law school with the Dean's Merit Scholarship, which would cover about 60% of the tuition (not sure if I'll be getting need-based from them or not). I am above their 75% LSAT, below the GPA median. Beforehand, I'd gotten into a law school ranked about 20 places higher and one I really want to go to, but they didn't offer any merit scholarships, just a little need-based $. For this school, I'm above their LSAT median but below the GPA median. Could I leverage my scholarship from the lower-ranked school to ask for more money from the higher-ranked one?

Thanks in advance!

Yea i think thats a common strategy. The Reddit forums might have more insight into this.

Or if you can spare the money, maybe SPIVEY can do some partial package where they help you negotiate
