Schools will more likely negotiate with peer institutions. So keep that in mind. Don’t just try to negotiate by using the biggest number you got. Ask yourself if the school is considered an equal to the school you are trying to negotiate with. So a school like CMU might consider what NYU gave you or maybe even Syracuse, but it’s unlikely they will care what a smaller school that draws only regional applicants offered.
