I was talking with a counselor at my D’s school who specializes in scholarships and FA and she said exactly the same thing as stringfollies- in fact, it happened with her own son last year and they were able to “negotiate” a much better package from “school A”. There are a few schools who will make it very clear up front that “they do not wish to engage in monetary negotiations and that their first offer will be their best offer”, but I have also heard that is not always the case. I guess it can’t hurt to try, but wait until everything is in print and in hand.
