I wrote to Dean Polo concerning scholarships and financial aid because other universities have offered it. I was greeted with a flat no. So no bargaining for me!
Sorry to hear that! Did you contact her because people who is supposed to receive a waiver has already been contacted regarding that matter, or did you write her just in case? Since admissions weren't communicated simultaneously, I don't know what to expect regarding scholarships. And without one, no Columbia for me (and I guess some of you folks are in the same situation...)
