Negotiate a merit scholarship with UC Berkeley?

<p>Hey everyone! I was wondering if UC Berkeley can negotiate merit scholarships.</p>

<p>I received the Achievement Award from UCLA, so my Net Cost to attend the university is right below $2000 a year. I want to attend UC Berkeley more than UCLA, but Berkeley did not give me any merit scholarships and my net cost per year is over $9000. </p>

<p>If I tell UC Berkeley about my UCLA merit scholarship, can Berkeley try to give me merit scholarships to match that of UCLA? </p>

<p>You can ask…but don’t count on it.</p>
