Instead of matching my scholarship, I received a full-merit scholarship; just for asking.

What did you ask for?: I asked my dream graduate school to match my scholarship that was given to me at another school, so that I could attend my dream school.

What did you receive? : Instead of matching my scholarship, I received a full-merit scholarship; just for asking.

How did you feel? Did you believe it was already there? Did you allow it to show up? : I was quite surprised. At most I thought that they would match the scholarship, but just by asking, I got more than I had asked for!
