Note

Virtually all programs dropped the GRE and PGRE requirements for this year. This is a good indication that those were barriers to access for many students. Some schools have less funding due to the crash in the economy that happened with COVID. That's not universal to every school, but certainly doesn't help. Also, in general, I think schools are being more cautious with their budgets since they aren't sure how the economy (and state funding) is going to recover.
