Does anyone know what SMART's budget is this year? I go to an expensive school and was wondering if that was reason why I was rejected?

I hope the program funding does not get cut with the whole new presidential administration and COVID.

Budget went from 71mil in 2020 to 77mil for 2021. Outside of budget the only major change appears to be mandate to increase diversity.

Google says 77 million. Expensive schools count against you a bit, I think. Try not to sweat it- you've done all you can at this point.
