CMC miscellaneaous questions? (transportation, admissions, SAT submissions, etc)

1.) How holistic is it, compared to other LACs? I know that LACs tend to be more “holistic” and have more unpredictable admissions than traditional universities

2.) Is it really easier getting in ED 2 than regular? I know that CMC is my 1st choice, but the higher ED2 acceptance rate doesn’t matter if the pool of applicants is more competitive than RD

3.) how good is the transportation? I am a figure skater, and want to skate at the ontario ice arena. it is 13 minutes away, so is the MTA a good option, and/or are there other methods?

4.) Will be taking the SAT on Jan 21, and admissions announcement is feb 15. is that enough time for them to recieve my scores? If not, my sat score would be a 1310 for ED2. Should I still apply ED2 then or RD with a 1400+ (thats what I get on my practice SATs)?
