Trying to decide if I should apply ED, and if so, to what school. Thinking John’s Hopkins, Duke or Carnegie Mellon. Any thoughts? Other schools?
budget?

A LOT of universities have very good biology programs, and very good premed programs. My impression is that most biology majors would be better off with some form of graduate school (master’s, PhD, MD, DVM, …). Therefore avoiding debt for undergrad and budgeting for more than four years might be a good idea.
