<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have a question.</p>
<p>On all my admittance packages, it says that I should either "immediately confirm financial aid" or "immediately send the I-20 request form" (to get the student visa). However, the actual reply date (deadline) seems to be May 1st for everyone.</p>
<p>Does that mean I have to do the things mentioned above regardless of whether I will actually matriculate or is it simply a way for the university to try to speed things up a little? Does the May 1st reply date apply to everyone, regardless of nationality and potential financial need? Do I have to send anything to a college before matriculating/committing to it?</p>
<p>Any insight into this would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks,
Europeen</p>
