Best Place to ED (low act, solid everything else)

I have read that even if I apply ED, if finances are a burning issue (aka dad losses job) then they can either let me loose of the binding contract or strengthen my financial aid. Is this true?

Yes. Moreover, ED can work remarkably smoothly in practice. In the best examples, 100% of admitted ED1 applicants can afford to (and do) enroll.
