Our Dd friend was able to negotiate tuition for the top schools but only top schools of each other. So she got aid from Yale and used to it negotiate CMU and Brown. But she could not use her Pitt aid to negotiate with these private schools or they wouldn’t budge with the Pitt aid. Even after that Yale was still the lowest so she went there even though Brown was her first choice and where she Ed but got deferred to RD.
