Hey everyone,
I'm a EE major transferring from a California Community College to Cal Poly SLO. I've gotten 4 interviews. 2 were from different squadrons at my top choice facility (Edwards AFB). The other two were from facilities that I did not select, Picatinny Arsenal in NJ and Camp Pendleton in CA.
Last week, I also received an email and call from SMART asking if I wanted to update my rankings. I said no (I want to keep Edwards AFB as my first choice) but that the interviews with Camp Pendleton and Picatinny definitely increased my interest in them.
I had an interview with Camp Pendleton as well. I think they interviewed students who picked SFs in their area- my second choice was in California. When I interviewed, they told me that I was in their top 2, so I'm wondering how many slots they get for students there.

I have not heard back yet either. I am a freshman CS Math major and a Math MS. I got an interview, but I don't think it went well. Any other ideas on when we hear back?

To be fair, it's not really a rickrolling. We did this to ourselves

Do you know if the “Last updated” date is always the current day?

Honestly, no idea. I only noticed it today. I don't recall seeing it before, but that's not to say it wasn't there. Sorry! I wish I knew, myself lol.

Did it show that current date or a past date?

Hello All,
I contacted SMART today and they said that acceptance/rejection notifications will go out sometime in April. They don't know when. I asked if COVID-19 has impacted their process and they replied no. I think that somehow it is delaying the process. We will have to wait and see.

Y'all, is our award year considered 2019 or 2020? Because looking at the "Schools with SMART Scholars" page on the website, the most recent year there is 2018 (suggesting we would be 2019 SMART Scholars). The reason this is important is because The 2019 Award statistics are available on the website, which I at least haven't seen before (
https://smartscholarshipprod.service-no ... dc7c9619c3). I could be wrong, but figured I'd mention it lol

I'm surprised more people aren't looking at the "2020 Finalist Decisions" thread. But I'm sure that will jump as soon as people start posting the acceptance news.
