<p>I received a full-ride at UCSD as a Jacobs Scholar. I was also accepted at the University of Chicago with 10k in merit aid and 15k in financial aid BEFORE the merit aid was awarded, which may change the financial aid amount.</p>
<p>I've been advised to "negotiate" for more financial aid. On the other hand, I've also heard that this is bad, but everything has been very vague. Is there any way to use my full-ride at UCSD to get more financial aid money at UChicago or other schools? </p>
<p>I'm sorry if the notion of bargaining offends anyone. My family can afford to pay for college in full if needed, so my question is if UChicago is worth the extra cost.</p>
<p>Which school should I choose? Is the prestige of UChicago worth more? How do both of them compare to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford?</p>
<p>My intended major is Computer Science but I'm very likely to switch.</p>
