I’m not sure what BW calls it officially, but in college-speak, it is EA and it is not binding. I understand CCM will make some EA decisions but I don’t know if that is common. A friend of my S got an offer from CCM 2 years ago in December or January. Last year, Otterbein made a decision “in the room” in December but again, it could be an outlier. Also, UArts may not typically be an EA school but D1 got a fairly quick decision from them after Unifieds.
