“Early Decision: BINDING. The deadline for applying is early, usually around November 1st. If you are accepted, you MUST attend.”

… unless you applied for financial aid, and not enough was offered to enable you to attend. In that case you say thanks but no thanks, and apply elsewhere under one of the other options, subject to appropriate deadlines.
