<p>you can only negotiate need based aid. if you got the Trustee/Presidential merit aid awards at USC, don't bother.</p>
<p>I got off the waitlist, too! Got the call last Thursday. Didn't do anything extra to improve my chances, but I also applied 4 days before the application deadline, which is never a good idea. :P</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in, and good luck making decisions! I'm definitely going if my parents can work out the financials. It's gonna be a lot different than going to U of Florida, heh.</p>
<p>congrats sweet! ^^ I hope the financial aid is bearable for my parents too, as I've decided to go to Duke! yea, it took a few days for me to get my old enthusiasm back, but now I'm pretty excited about next semester :D</p>
<p>Good choice ritzy! We should have an accepted-off-the-waitlist party there with the amount of us that have recently gotten in.</p>
<p>good luck with the decisions! and congrats to you all ^^</p>
<p>Congratulations to all of you!!! I just finished freshman year, and it was undoubtedly the greatest year ever. At Duke, you will have so many opportunities and such fantastic peers. Choosing Duke was absolutely one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my life, and I hope all of you consider it!</p>
