My D, went with Rubin LCT, but to have a better chance, she applied for an explorations theme in that dorm… We were told here on CC that you are more apt to get your dorm choice with an explorations. And it so happened for her it was true. That was the only year she did LCT. Not because we didn’t want to, but by time soph year comes, they want to dorm with their friends and it makes it a little harder to do LCT if no one else in the group is doing it.
That is too bad about the FA. Could your son perhaps try over the phone one more time? The only leverage might be for him to tell them that he really wants to attend his first choice school, but if they could just raise the FA a little to make it more of a reality and that the other schools offered a little more aid. That was our strategy.
Good luck.
