E1A: My daughter put down UChicago as her first choice school, and when she received the acceptance, they put down a NMF scholarship for her. She turned down the school early on to accept another school. I telephoned the NM office in early April to determine if she could switch her first choice school to another (the school she did accept). The woman with whom I spoke said we had until April 20 to make that change (in writing). I explained that Chicago had accepted her, and NMF scholarship was in the financial aid package. She said that did not matter, and that since my daughter was not accepting the offer, she had until the 20th, as I said, to switch the 1st choice school. I actually clarified that with her a couple of times, and she assured me this was the case. But it sounds like you were told something completely different.
