Negotiating Acceptance Offer

[KevinJHa]

Hi does anyone have any experience negotiating acceptance offers? I just got an offer with tuition remission, stipend, and health insurance and was told there was a second pot of money availiable for making counter-offers.

Are offers from other schools the only other leverage you can use? I'm wondering if I could use relocation costs, or my current salary (which is higher than the offer).

Any help or insight is much appreciated!

I don't have any experience but here's some forums I searched and found. I am also interested in info on this.

It seems that the general response is " Don't negotiate with a school unless you're sure you would accept given they gave you all those extra things..."
