If I have already gotten into my top choice M7, are there reasons to still interview at Top15 schools? Does scholarship negotiation work?

Scholarship negotiations work

How do you even...?

I would always say take the interview. For practice, if nothing else. Beyond that, trust your gut. Scholarship negotiation can and does happen, and that or other factors are fine reasons to change your mind, but you can do so on your own terms now.

My experience last year- M7 gave no money and T15 offered full ride. Even if scholarship negotiations don’t work, T15 schools are plenty good and may be worth it to try to go there on the cheap

I’m hoping to move into consulting/strategy, which helped me push to Booth, but also have some personal reasons.

Depending on which M7 and which T15 it can absolutely work.

While giving the tech interview as well as while having the HR discussion, I mentioned my expected CTC as 9-10 LPA(CTC). I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..
