Single member LLC, EIN and taxes question (state of MA)

I am opening a single member LLC in MA. I am not required to get an EIN as I have no employees nor will have excise tax liability. However, I would like to get an EIN in order to open a bank account and ask for loans.

 

Can I apply for an EIN for my new SMLLC and still elect to be taxed along with my personal taxes? Or does having an EIN imply the new LLC needs to be taxed  being taxed as a corporation? 

 

Thank you!
