Thanks!! I didn’t, but I’ll try to negotiate something. Has anyone had the experience of negotiating a Scholarship with Rotman? I would appreciate if you could share how it went.

GMAT Club Forum mobile appI spoke to a current student who told me she negotiated, but she had another offer from a strong program. I don't know which was the other school. I contemplated negotiating for a bigger scholarship, but since I decided earlier to limit how many schools I applied to, I didn't really have a good reason to ask for more beyond "I want more". I spoke to a consultant about this, and his suggestion was to talk about financial hardship. For me, that would have been a lie as I'd saved quite a bit
Hopefully others can chime in on whether they negotiated.
Thanks a lot for your help!! I have applied to other schools in the US, but I haven’t heard from them yet, so I don’t have other offers or scholarships to use in my negotiation. What I heard when I tried to negotiate was the scholarships are very competitive this year.
I plan to try at least one more time.
Prodigy has only approved USD 19k for me to attend Rotman, and I’m trying to get a loan at BMO through a stand by letter, but my bank is giving me a hard time to issue the letter. If I don’t get BMO’s loan, I might not be able to attend the program if I don’t get any scholarship.
