So ED is usually done for your dream 1st choice school which is typically highly selective (under 30% admit rate). If your dream school isn't selective and is your 1st choice Id consider ED if you think it might help you with aid otherwise I wouldn't apply ED to a safety school. Hope this helps.

Feel free to comment if you need something clarified.
