Abstract
The smallness of flavor changing neutral currents constrains the soft parameter space of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Th ese low energy constraints are translated to the soft parameter space generated at some high energy scale M(GUT). For gaugino masses larger than the scalar masses and non-universal A-terms the constraints are s ignificantly diluted at M(GUT) and do allow for the possibility of non -universal scalar masses. The strongest constraints arise in the slept on sector of the theory.
