<p>Oh wow. Sounds like maybe I should call and talk to NMSC about this directly?
It makes me sad, because I really really like OSU, but in truth this seems like too much risk for too little gain. If I designate I might not even get the scholarship, and if I do, unless I get more aid on top it won’t be enough to make it affordable (in my case). And by that point I might have lost options for NM scholarships elsewhere by listing too early. As you say, the logistics are very complicated.
Thanks very much for all your help…I might well be back with more questions!</p>
