Are colleges really "need-blind"?

The reason colleges ask for FA information early is that they give you an estimated FA package if you are accepted early. This is particularly important for ED schools, because if accepted, you will have to accept or turn down the school by an early deadline based on the FA package they give you. You will not be able to wait and compare an ED FA package to RD ones.
