S was accepted off a wait list last year for a school that was a top choice. Something about not being accepted right away made him like it less. He also made his decision on another school and felt committed. When the wait list offer came on May 2, he was pleased, and they did offer a good FA/merit package…but not as good as the school he’d originally chosen, there was a gap I feel like they must have known would be a difficulty for us.

He turned it down rather than negotiate the package, because he’d fallen in love with the other school by then.
