How does one get out of an ED agreement?
How do they determine if you can't afford it? Isn't it totally subjective? Or do they use the EFC

If your admissions counselor is worth anything they won't let you do it unless there is a bona fide financial reason. Reneging on ED because you got into a better school will create issues for your HS in the years to come with that college.

How does it involve my high school? Does the counselor agree to make me go?

It destroys any trust they have in your school. You’re essentially representing your HS and when you break the ED agreement they aren’t going to think well of your school. Not an expert though so take that with a grain of salt

Just go somewhere else. It's not a legal document.

"The early decision agreement is not legally binding"
I know 10+ people who backed out of ED after getting into a better school. Nothing happened to them.

Don’t back out of ED you will be blacklisted and your school will lose it’s reputation it’s a terrible idea

Just say you can’t afford it. I doubt the school would press the issue unless you are rich or it’s NYU or something.
