Hi,
I have been admitted to Haas after the R2 deadline for other schools I had applied to because before Haas acceptance I had nothing in my hands.
Since Haas' deposit deadline was on March 10 I had to submit my Statement of Intent to Register to the school and pay the deposit.
I received no scholarship offer from Haas, while I recently received a very generous scholarship offer from another great school.
I am thinking to turn down Haas, even if I have already submitted my SIR and paid a 2000$ deposit. Haas is a great school and I am interested in tech, but with the other offer I have I would be able to complete my MBA without any debt, and the other school is not as strong at Haas on tech but it's a strong all around school and has been able to place people in the big tech companies regularly in the past few years.
I would you handle this situation? Do you think I should write to Haas and explain my situation, try to ask if they can give a scholarship (very unlikely since they have an application procedure for that, I applied and they denied)? Do you think it would be a problem to cancel my registration at this point?

Almost 100% sure Haas won't play that game. They are not a private school and thus they won't throw money at you regardless of how badly they want you. All aid is either need-based or because you win won of their essay-based scholarships.
What is the other school? If I had to guess, is it Anderson? If so I was in the same position and I'd be happy to share with you why I, too, chose Haas despite $$$ from Anderson and none from Haas.

Throwaway, are you sure about that? I received a scholarship offer from Haas at the time I was admitted, without submitting any extra essays or anything related to my need for financial aid. Granted this was four years ago, but I know of several other public MBA programs that will throw money at people they want.
Archibald, if the $ considerations are really important there's no harm in mentioning to Haas AdCom that you'd really like to attend there but that you can't overlook the $ issue. The worst they can say is no, in which case you can graciously decline your admit and they'll just keep your deposit.
