Accepting doesn’t mean enrolling imo unless it says that explicitly

Are you getting any 💲💲 from them?

Yeah, unless they say accept means a binding agreement to join explicitly, you’re good.

But I’m pretty sure you can negotiate and make it better, sent you a DM.

Negotiation is truly where you gain more leverage

So I believe it alright to accept the offer now and submit the acceptance form. Negotiation can be carried on later ?

Just don’t pay the deposit , deposit is one of the 4 leverages you have.

Anyone who is willing to negotiations, please hold your leverage as much as possible.

I have a video on this stuff if anyone wants to see, but it’s an external link, do you want me to share it?

Sure I can tell you the leverage, the stuff I get paid for to negotiate scholarships is already different from that-

1. New score

2. Promotions

3. Competing offers

4. Deposit

5. Timelines (optional leverage because if you look at what Ross is doing, it’s not a leverage)


You’ll need experience to handle all or any you have in your hands.


Strategy can be formulated but don’t give it away

I sent the link

The elaboration on timelines is more confusing to just be done on the chat.


Many people underestimate the power of timelines.


It’s a MASSIVE leverage.
