I think a lot of this is true. I'm sort of going through a similar process myself, and yes, it's possible you can get more money.

Send NYU what you got from Columbia. I agree with 3underscore. This seems really obvious. If you're at all interested in NYU giving you more money, send them whatever they ask for. Otherwise, don't waste their time (and yours).

Was I the only one that thought the OP was just wondering whether a print-off/photo-copy of his acceptance letter/award notice would be enough document proof for NYU, seeing as it could be easily manipulated and edited through Photoshop, etc.?

Maybe I also can't imagine anyone actually maliciously considering the question it seems we're assuming the OP is asking.

That's why I want you to get in to CMU.... I never thought about it this way. I thought he didn't want to tip his hand. To be perfectly fair, I just told one school the amount the other offered, and they took it on its face. Adcoms can talk to each other, although I don't know if that's standard practice.
