Hi, I'm an international applicant (not US/CA), so I'm considering both USA and Canada schools. I have already got an offer from Top 3 Canadian schools, but I know average Top Canadian schools have lower ranks than USA schools (even though the quality might not differ). More specifically Global No.80-100 compared to USC No.20-40.
Is it reasonable for me to present my Canadian offer and ask USC for a faster decision (or even impact their decision, as I don't think I performed interview well at USC)? Or even negotiate a better scholarship with USC (I have it from Canadian school)?

Hi there,
You've stumbled upon an old discussion from our Marshall Forum
that's now outdated and has been archived. No more replies are possible here.
Interested in current discussions? Feel free to dive into our dedicated Marshall Forum
for all fresh things related to the Marshall MBA program.
Thank you for understanding, and happy exploring!

Hi again. Responding to your two questions separately:
Q: Is it reasonable for me to present my Canadian offer and ask USC for a faster decision (or even impact their decision, as I don't think I performed interview well at USC)?
A: No, it is no reasonable. I doubt you will have any success in getting an earlier decision from USC. They will not care that you were accepted to another program regardless of whether it's Canadian or American.
Q: Or even negotiate a better scholarship with USC (I have it from Canadian school)?
A: You might have success with this tactic. The best way to negotiate a scholarship is if you have at least one other offer in hand. You have nothing to lose by trying. At least you'll know where you stand with Marshall.

Thank you again for the answer. I think I will wait patiently for any decision then make any moves or negotiations afterwards.

Hello, JohnCena20. Although I am not an admissions expert, I can speak from my experience as a tutor who has helped students in situations like yours. I agree 100 percent with Admissionado. Do not make any attempt to strong-arm Marshall into making an admissions decision. Any negotiating should occur once you have an offer in hand. This process is common. I had a client not too long ago who leveraged a scholarship offer from Fuqua to squeeze something better out of Tuck. And, as chance would have it, another member recently posted on negotiating better scholarship offers from Tuck and Booth.
Just sit back and see if you gain acceptance first. Good luck.
