Notes:

Strong preference to be in NYC for IB networking and recruitment. Currently live here as well and don't want to move. Top choice is Columbia. Didn't receive a scholarship, but received scholarship at Duke with Forte fellowship. Am I able to email CBS or Stern to negotiate merit scholarship and ask to match offer? What info should I send to schools?

Even with the Darden scholarship, it might make sense to remain in NYC, for IB recruiting, with Columbia in the higher tier.

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1917 Congrats on your acceptances to CBS, Stern and Fuqua. Given your desire to stay in NYC, it sounds like either CBS or Stern is the right option for you. In terms of negotiating, you would contact the school, explain that you would really like to their school, but mention that you have this scholarship from Fuqua and then ask if they can offer some scholarship to help bridge the gap. The worst that would happen is they say no. (0)
