I should have been clearer – I wasn’t suggesting you were trying to squeeze anyone. I was trying to answer very generally the question about whether schools “expect to negotiate.” And I would say the answer is no.
I do not think they are giving a lowball offer expecting families to come back with a counteroffer.
That said, they do want families to accept the offer and will often work with the families to make it doable/affordable. (hence the appeal process).
