I’ll also add that you may have to wait and see. Back in 2017 my son was invited to a top scholarship weekend at a smallish LAC. He didn’t get the top scholarship. We still attended the accepted student weekend and after it he emailed the admissions officer he’d met at a college fair and said that he and we really were impressed with the school and it was his top choice but that we weren’t able to swing it financially with the lesser scholarship. Which was true and he accepted at a state school instead. Two days before May 1 deadline he got a call with the offer of additional merit aid to match the top scholarship. We assume others who were offered it had notified them that they were going elsewhere. We gladly forfeited the $200 deposit we’d paid to the state school.
