I agree, don’t apply ED to a school you haven’t visited, or without having visited others. If, after visiting Elon and others, you still feel that Elon is your number one first choice, and you don’t care about comparing financial aid offers, and you want only to know if you can afford Elon, and the FA calculators (or conferring with the Elon FA office) don’t show that it’s hopeless, go ahead and apply ED to give yourself the admissions boost; your GPA and expected SAT suggest Elon would be a match. If it turns out you can’t afford it, you’ll decline the offer and apply RD to more affordable schools.
