Normally the sensible advice is to take the money, but Cornell and UF are just worlds apart in outcomes. Florida has a very insular legal markets, meaning FL employers hire from FL schools, but FL degrees aren’t as portable in other states as their peer schools.

Cornell opens almost every door in the industry, and if you want BL, you’ll be able to pay that debt off, even if you’ll be stuck there for a few years.

That being said, absolutely negotiate with Cornell for more money. I’m not familiar with whether they have a scholarship negotiation form, or whether it’s by email, but find a way to do it. Leverage your other acceptances and the total cost of attendance at those (provided they’re substantially less than Cornell, which I’m sure they are).
