A quick definition of reformatory:

A reformatory is a place where young people who have broken the law go to learn how to behave better. It's like a school, but instead of regular classes, they learn how to make good choices and follow rules. Sometimes people call it a reform school.

A more thorough explanation:

A reformatory is a type of prison for young people who have committed crimes. It is also known as a reform school.

A 16-year-old boy was sent to a reformatory for stealing a car.
She was released from the reformatory after completing her sentence.

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC
