I think you do have a chance to get few extra k$$. You need to show more interest by even taking a trip to the Campus.

My son last year got the same 10K offer, he was OOS, his scores were slightly better then yours but he never shown real interest in the school, when he gets the final FA pkg he was offered 3K more, Then he showed the interest and requested for more to at least come close to the Full Tuition. In the end he never get that and he choose UM Coral Gables FL over PITT. UM offer him Full Tuition. Had PITT offered him Full Tuition he would have chosen PITT.

So show more Interest I think they will sweeten the deal more.
