My D has merit offers from two colleges she is deciding between. College A (44% acceptance rate) has offered a couple of thousand less than University B. Uni B (35% acceptance rate) is definitely a more prestigious school. If D decides on College A, is it common for people to ask colleges to match or give better merit offers?
There is also College C, (25% acceptance rate.) This college gave no merit, as D doesn't have top stats for this school. (Not top stats for Uni B either.) It is quite prestigious, much more than College A, though I am not sure if it is a lot more prestigious than University B. Are we in any position to ask for a financial incentive at all? Do people ever ask if a college can maybe "freeze" tuition for her years at the college? Sorry if this all sounds really ignorant. Insight appreciated.
