Notes:

I'm looking to minimize my loan amount.
I have a scholarship from Kelley but none from Johnson. I can ask Kelley for more scholarship leveraging Johnson but on the other hand, Johnson is a better fit for my goals, also no doubt a bigger brand too.
I also got waitlisted at Fuqua so looking for tips on scholarship negotiations and waitlist convert

On the other hand, Kelley is a very good program and is offering you a scholarship. Given the current offers on hand, what is your current preference? (0)
