<p>Note - CMC's early decision is binding; candidates who are admitted under ED are expected to enroll at CMC, to withdraw all other applications, and to initiate no new applications. You are allowed to review your financial aid package/offer prior to making your acceptance decision. If CMC is not your first choice, they suggest that you apply under the Regular Decision option.</p>
