Financial Aid Advice Needed

I am applying ED II next month and fear that I will be rejected based on my financial need. I fit the mid 50% in terms of SATs and GPA, but isn’t it more competitive/difficult for students who need close to a full financial aid package? That being said, I am under guardianship which means I can choose whether or not to list my father who makes about $60,000 a year. Since I doubt he will be willing to help me much, I am hesitant on listing him but I also am curious as to if doing so will increase my chance of acceptance. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
