I was accepted into a masters program. They said I am "mostly likely," to get a scholarship which will significantly reduce the tuition fees. Then, i got an email saying I was nominated for the scholarship. The only thing i needed to do was to accept the award through their website. I tried to log into the website but faced many technical problems. I contacted the IT department and they referrred to the admission office. The same lady with whom I had been in contact for a while emailed me that I had delayed accepting the award so I have been waitlisted and there is a minimum chance to get the scholarship and I should plan not receiving it. Time between the first notifying email and the last was not more than 48 hours.

Meanwhile, as soon as I was assured of the scholarship I declined better offers from other colleges.  I wanted to attend this college and was my top choice. I was processing for the I-20 so that before college starts I could go home. Now, my opt is about to expire and would not be able to pay full tuition. I do not know how to deal it. Suggestions please!
