<p>my mother and I are arguing about whether or not the reply dates (when you tell them you are definately attending) are the same for all colleges. I think they are...(May 1st, right?) Is this true or an I crazy?</p>
<p>Yes, May 1 is the National Reply Date. It is sometimes extended by a day or two if it falls on a weekend.</p>
<p>Scholarships often require a commitment sooner than that, however.</p>
