This is not new.
In 1968 I was accepted for an MBA by StanfordBS and HarvardBS, and was offered a fellowship by both c. 20% of my (in those good old days) $3000 total yearly expenses. Before I chose to go to Harvard, somebody well in the know at SBS said that if I opted for Stanford I was very likely to be given a a significantly larger additional fellowship. At first this sounded good to me, but the more I thought of it the more I considered it a bribe, and demurred.
