If these questions are too basic, I apologize ahead of time.
At this point, I've received a few full rides. The best one has come from WUSTL.
I'm wondering:
1. Can WashU be used to negotiate with the lower T14/15 (GTown/Cornell/Berk/NW) effectively?
2. Is it too soon to start negotiating with schools in general? If yes, when is it acceptable to start?
3. Any general advice/links are appreciated.
I'm not a gunner/over-the-top person by any stretch. I just know that schools have the most money now rather than in late March/April.

Re: Scholarship Negotiation
1. Generally, not much. Everyone knows that WashU hands out full scholarships like candy for the right LSAT.
2. It's too soon if you haven't received a scholarship offer from a school yet and/or if the school has laid out an official schedule for when they consider financial aid. You can always mention it, but if the school is on a specific schedule (like Northwestern), they won't consider other scholarship offers until after they've made their initial offer.

Re: Scholarship Negotiation
I was able to successfully negotiate with a WashU offer. Definitely worth trying
