Hi Everyone,
I had applied to 4 B-schools in R1 - UNC Kenan Flagler, Cornell, McCombs, Darden. Out of these schools, I was accepted at UNC with a 50K USD /year scholarship and waitlisted without interview at Cornell.
I submitted an update to Cornell last month that I was in the process of joining a new company in a better position. Though I received a reply from Cornell that they will review my application with R2 applicants, the possibility of converting this waitlist seems bleak.
The scholarship from UNC translates to roughly 70% of tuition. With the current uncertainty regarding the job market and the H1B visas (new US admin), does it make sense to negotiate for a better scholarship or would that be too greedy?
Even a small increase in the scholarship would make a sizeable difference in INR terms.
If yes, how should i go about framing my message to the adcom?
Deposit deadline of UNC is 10th Feb.
My Stats:
GMAT 740, Indian male engineer
4 years of work-ex at a small engineering firm in the UAE.
I have now joined a company in Greece (same industry) for a better role and would be working from both Athens and UAE.

Hi. Congratulations on your admit!
So it’s never too greedy to ask for more money, the different situations and different outcomes so you can always politely check for additional financial aid. Obviously money never lies on the ground and admissions doesn’t really give out funds for nothing either so there are two main strategies,
1. You can ask them to match another scholarship which sounds like you do not have at least at this time.
2. You can ask for a small additional amount such as five or $10,000 and offered it’s done by saying that you have been working on your funding to secure a loan and you’re basically five or $10,000 short and you’re looking for that amount. There’s a much better chance for you to get additional funding, additional scholarship if it’s a smaller amount and if it’s an exact amount.
