She still can only choose one and gets only one scholarship package. Meanwhile, she could withdraw her acceptances from 39 colleges so as to allow other worthy students to get accepted.

I get that she may have been trying to see how much financial aid she could get but after a dozen acceptances, you'd think she could take her pick.
