Has your Finalist chosen a college yet, before regular decision results?

My D received a pretty good scholarship offer from one admitted school if she names it as top choice school, but we named another admitted school (which is her second choice) as top choice hoping to get a better scholarship there. However, we just got a letter yesterday that the school she picked is no longer sponsoring NMSC scholarship this year although it was on the list at the time of application. Now she switched the top choice school to her real top choice which offers no NM scholarship at all. We are now only hoping for the $2500 from NMSC. The school that offered her the large scholarship would be a backup plan and she may switch to it on May 1 if necessary. We are not counting on the RD school until we receive the admission notice. It does not sponsor NM scholarship anyway.
