If colleges are truly need blind

The number of FAFSAs that come to a large public university is staggering. It would be a huge waste of resources to begin to process those that do not actually need to be processed. Where I worked, and at similar state universities I am familiar with, students are accepted on a rolling basis beginning in fall. Aid is often not packaged until months later.

At these universities, was the FA calculation more complex than what can be done by a computer program that takes in FAFSA data and spits out an FA package (i.e. needing human reading a significant percentage of the time)?
