I guess unofficial, it was by phone

Hi, I am new to this blog and wonder whether other people with offers from Columbia have been put under the same pressure as I am at the moment. They are making me a fully-funded offer but they want me to confirm that I am committed to them. How can I do that before I have heard from the other places where I applied? I thought that one would have the freedom of accepting or declining an offer until mid-April! Or am I wrong? Thank you for whatever advice you may be able to give!
