Accept admission offer before Scholarships issued? [#permalink]
 05 Feb 2008, 07:24
I have been accepted to the University of Colorado - Boulder (Leeds MBA) and plan to attend this fall. My question is regarding scholarship funds...
My acceptance email said that the fellowship committee will review my request for (merit-based) fellowship support over the next few weeks. MY QUESTION: Do you think the committe would be less likely to offer a scholarship if I had already accepted the admission offer? More likely? Indifferent?
Thanks!

wait. there's no reason to say yes now - the offer's not going away!
Schools use scholarship money as an enrollment incentive. Don't take away their incentive!!!

I agree, don't accept yet until you hear the scholarship info. Use every leverage you can get.
