I'm sure some more seasoned parents will have insight (I'm a first-timer, too)... but it's my understanding that the offers are open till May 1. By that point, you have to submit your deposit to the school of your choice. I think some schools might have "perks" for choosing earlier (like, your priority for housing choices is determined by when they receive your deposit) but the offer doesn't "go away" till May 1.
I think financial aid offer dates vary by school, but the ones my son is looking at promise info in March/April, so you would definitely have it before you have to make the decision.
