I thought the last day to pick the first choice was May 31, after the May 1 date most schools use for acceptances.

Different schools have different deadlines for naming the 1st choice. For example, BU’s is March 1.

UT Dallas guarantees their National Merit Scholarship to all accepted NMSFs

Looks like UTDallas scholarship is only for NMFs, not NMSFs. Tulsa is an example of a school that gives its top scholarship to NMSFs as well as NMFs.
