Send me pm and we can definitely talk more about the program. As per negotiating for financial aid, there were a couple of things I did. First, went to the accepted students' day and met with professors and staffs to make sure I was not just a name in paper. Second, made it very clear of my financial circumstances and that I really wanted to come there. And third, showed them my other offers to perhaps show that increasing aid for me would not be a bad idea. The offer I showed was far from being a competitive school and a completely different program. Also keep in mind the stipend that university provides during the summer for international internships.. That could be an additional cost in other school that you do not account for at the beginning.

hello! thanks for your posts regarding the GHD program, they are super useful!

@CurrentGHD I am in the same situation as @cmp2541....this is my top choice program, but I am agonizing about needing more funding. I am planning on attending the admitted student day but I was wondering if you have any advice on negotiating more funding---did you send them other school's offers via email? did you do the negotiating specifically through the admissions office? 

 

thanks in advance!
