<p>Several schools my daughter is looking at indicate that she would be eligible for Nationl merit scholarship if she list that school as her first choice. Her other choices (mostly ivies) don't seem to give money to Natl merit finalists. Should she indicate her first choice school among those who give aid? Will that affect her chances at her true first choice Ivy college?
thanks</p>
<p>No...that will not affect her chances. You can change schools before May 1....or even after that.</p>
