[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can call and ask, if the school did not meet their enrollment goal maybe they would say yes. [/quote]

This. What do you have to lose, OP? I’d give it a try. Be very nice and compliment the admissions process and say your child has major regrets. 
I did something similar for preschool, and it worked. [/quote]

I did this eons ago when I turned down a T10 school for an OOS where I thought I had full OOS tuition scholarship for 4 years---when the OOS played games and said it's really only in-state but we will give you OOS for 1 year, then only in-state, I got on phone with the AO and a specific professor at the T10 school and begged and worked to get back in.  They immediately offered me the acceptance, but it took 2-3 days to get me back my FA in full (finances were the reason I had accepted the other offer---It would cost me less and I didn't have money so needed my full FA award back to attend the T10).  3 days later I had everything back in place.  And I'm so thankful every day that it turned out this way---I got a much better education at a place I really wanted to attend.  
If you don't ask you won't know.
