If amount of financial aid is an unknown factor (meaning one might not get the amount one think he needs or family circumstances are unstable), then EA at any school is not a smart way to go.

Non-binding EA is fine for student who are looking for financial aid and scholarships (and some schools require EA for maximum scholarship eligibility). It is binding ED that can be a problem for those looking for financial aid and scholarships.
