anon36481 Likes Earned: 0 Hi that was me who posted this. Unfortunately it won’t let me edit it to leave a note. My dream is to go to Sloan but not quite sure how feasible negotiating is. 1. What’s the timeline for negotiating. When do people hear back? 2. How likely are my chances of getting more money? And how much is typically given? (0)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 2018 Congrats on your acceptances to CBS ($187k), MIT Sloan ($92k) and Stern. Well done! Given the scholarship offers, it sounds like you are deciding between CBS and MIT Sloan. Both CBS and MIT Sloan are great MBA programs that would allow you to achieve your career goals.

I know that MIT Sloan is your dream school, but CBS is also a great program and they are offering you $95k more money. If MIT Sloan does not budge, would you still turn down CBS to attend MIT Sloan? Meaning, how much would MIT Sloan have to narrow the gap to persuade you to attend?
