May I ask why you wish to apply ED?

Just my two cents, but you sound very unsure of what type of college you would like to attend, as these are three very different schools. Which is absolutely fine, but in which case I would highly recommend not doing ED (especially if financial aid is an issue). If you’re a serious applicant at any of these schools–and these are all fantastic schools–then your chances of admission will not be hurt by applying regular decision. Wait and apply to all three, in which case you would have until May of 2011 to decide, giving you more time to evaluate and visit each of these schools. ED is for someone who is absolutely certain which school he/she wants to attend, not a way to game the admissions process.
