<p>I dont know whether this is true for all the cases or not . Because i have got a friend at Georgia tech and he got in (he had applied to financial aid) … He was not able to negotiate the financial aid as it came to him (the whole package) … He was an amazing student though (grade 100 times better than mine and of the OP) … </p>
<p>Another friend of mine at Brown faces the same problem</p>
