Hi ,

I have got 3 admits for this fall from school X, Y and Z and have some scholarship from X but was trying to negotiate a better scholarship with X using Y and Z admits...now the thing is I do have admit from other school Y but I dont know the scholarship amount yet , while from Z I have scholarship which is almost same as what X offered..so now my school X has comeback asking for details about other offfers before offering me more scholarship...so I was just wondering whether its a good idea to fake a higher scholarship with Y and Z schools or do these schools have internal connections and they might find out the truth as well so how should I go about this...Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciable. Thanks

No.... I would not suggest faking it....

There are too many reasons not to that I think you'd be able to figure out...

I would highly recommend against lying to the schools. I would just be honest and tell school X that school Z offered a comparable scholarship and is there anything they can do in terms of offering more money as that would sway you towards choosing school X over school Z. This also will only potentially work if school X views school Z as a competitor in the same tier.
