Any suggestions out there on strategies to appeal for more funding? Google has only yielded so much...
Here's an article from StacyBlackman with some useful tips:
https://www.stacyblackman.com/2015/01/28 ... olarships/However, I'd say that it's very unlikely that the adcom changes their mind on a decision regarding merit scholarships (either to give any funding or to increase the amount). Having said that, if you ask politely, along the lines of the article, I don't think it'll do any harm. Give it a week or so and then make up your mind (or set your own deadline whenever your deposit deadlines are).
And by the way, my online admission letter didn't mention the scholarship amount, but the official one did. Nevertheless, the adcom member mentioned the scholarship amount on the admission call.

Jan admit here :D
By the way, does anyone have sticker shock? Cost of attendence is $93k per year!! As long one finds good employment afterwards, it shouldn't be an issue and the data does suggest that to be the case but still are any international students worried?

Just a heads up, for those that haven't looked into it yet you need to send through official transcripts within a month of enrollment. It's not mentioned on the to-do list though!

No, but lying on your application is grounds for immediate termination of an outstanding offer and expulsion from Tuck if already attending as per my understanding of the Honor Code.

Does Tuck conduct a background check?
Haven't read anything about it in any admit student material (welcome packet or website) - so I'm not sure.
Can any current student shed any light on this?
