Are colleges really "need-blind"?

It does seem incongruent to say a school is need blind but to ask the Fa question on the app at all. Couldn’t that app process instead ask the ED applicants intending to ask for aid to prepare forms to be mailed within days of the ED acceptance notices…

A friend of mine firmly believes that acceptances for students NOT asking for aid is higher than those looking for FA…she says these universities are afterall businesses…she feels not asking for aid increases the likelyhood of admits
She has a point.
