<p>Hi, my friend has been accepted to Cornell and Carnegie but for Cornell she'll only have to pay about $10000 whereas for Carnegie she'll have to pay $25000. However, she would rather go to Carnegie than Cornell so I have a question if it is possible to inform Carnegie of Cornell's offer and ask if they could make a match. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know of someone who made a deal with Columbia and Duke this way but can this be done with Carnegie and Cornell too?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>i know carnegie tries to match offers</p>

<p>Cornell has a lot more money available, so it might not happen, but it’s worth a try.</p>

<p>You should always try to negotiate. Cornell and Carnegie are competitive with each other but I am not sure how much $ CMU has to offer.</p>

<p>CMU is one of the few schools that openly encourages students to send in financial aid offers from other schools. They try to match it, if they can.</p>
