@wealthofnations: oof. Still leaning W&L because UR didn't give me any money. I sent in a reconsideration request about a week ago though. Haven't heard anything yet....I'd love too, but i need money.
@Pandally: Did W&L give you money? Weird that they did and UR didn't. I inquired with UR about negotiating too and they didn't seem too keen on it. Basically said they'll consider, but that they feel they give the best offer from the jump. But that could also be because they already gave me $$$, you might have a better shot.

@wealthofnations: W&L did, and they're ranked higher! Lol. UR gave nothing. I submitted my request and they left that wording that they gave a "fair and competitive award" like bro....$0 is neither fair nor competitive.
