<p>My personal opinion is that you should not apply ED unless you are willing and able to pay any amount over what you are think you going to have to pay. ED can be a pain in the neck if you get an offer that is not affordable when you finally give the colleges you full year actual financial data. It’s all estimates, remember, when you are getting your ED acceptance. Something funky happens, or you were not careful with the info and you can be way off and you are stuck. Also when you get that estimate, you have no idea whether the amount of aid you are being offered is generous, about what you would be getting at like schools or a low ball. YOu have to make your decision in that vacuum </p>
<p>So no, I don’t think you should apply ED.</p>
