<p>Cheap (i like to say frugal) father here....Does anyone have knowledge as to when the financial aid decisions are distributed? Is it online or via mail?</p>
<p>I think it’s before April 1, I don’t know if it comes by mail or online.</p>

<p>What is there to wait for? They promise to cover 100% of student need minus EFC. Your son/daughter can already view their EFC on the FAFSA site.</p>
<p>I think the EFC may change if MIT recalculates it with CSS profile and other non-FAFSA info.</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>There was a post on the blogs that may answer most questions regarding the decisions:</p>

<p>I just received my FA award letter today. Paying for college is going to be tough for my parents, but I didn’t expect much more aid than I already received. Just happy to have the opportunity to study at MIT.</p>
<p>Although, now, I will be anxiously waiting for my regular decisions to come back so I can see how the various packages stack up…</p>
