In the same situation. What is UVA's reputation for negotiating?

I tried. Had decent money from Cornell, Michigan, and Northwestern. Nothing.

Nothing, they didn't respond? Or they responded but would not budge?

Had offers that were 300% of what UVA offered me from peer schools and other T14s. Got the cold "we don't negotiate." Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like that that's pretty universal. Sucks since I really wanted UVA but can't justify it given the other options.
