Hi, I was looking for some insights into a negotiation strategy for a candidate holding competing offers from Oxford (BCL) and NYU LLM (with a Dean's Graduate Scholarship worth $40,000).
The deadline for NYU is 15th April and for Oxford it is 19th April. Oxford will probably share their scholarship decisions in April-June which is much later than NYU's deadline. I was thinking of sending an email to NYU first and citing my Oxford offer in order to negotiate for a higher scholarship. If they agree, I can then leverage that and ask Oxford to expedite my scholarship decision.
How should I approach the NYU email in order to negotiate a greater scholarship leveraging my Oxford offer? What is the correct strategy here? I would be willing to go to NYU if they offer me a full scholarship and I would pick Oxford if they offer me a substantial scholarship.

I'm interested in hearing some insights too. I'm a Cambridge MCL and NYU (30k Dean's). I've sent a message to NYU basically asking about an extension of the deadline as I'm waiting for national scholarships but without even mentioning the MCL.

WooW! 40K in scholarship at NYU sounds pretty amazing to me. Can you tell us a bit about your profile and background?

Hi Fernando! Please let me know (in the dms if you are more comfortable there) whether NYU agreed to your request. Also how long of an extension to the deadline did you ask for?
