Does Stony Brook have second look week? How does it work?
I emailed Nancy about a second visit and she said that they have a revisit program on April 19th.
Also, it looks like there's an open house on March 1st, I'm considering going if I can treat it like a second look.

I don't know what you've done since you submitted your app but maybe you should consider sending an update letter and throw in a sentence to state strong interest.I don't think I'm getting an II.... =/ Complete since Aug.. OOS too

Nope, but if you made one, I'm sure many people would join and find it helpful!
Is there a fb page for accepted students? Would love to start getting connected to potential classmates!

I interviewed early December as well.
I also interviewed mid december still haven't heard anything back. I do remember them telling us it would be 4 to 6 weeks usually, then she followed that by saying probably longer because of the holidays. I really hope i get in here, it's a great place to live!I interviewed early December as well.

I DID send one, early this month and they said they would add it to my file...
I have also emailed previously about my interest in an interview especially, and they just say keep waiting bepatient
Then be satisfied that you've done everything you can and hope for the best. Good luck!
Did anyone who interviewed take the LIRR in?
I'll be coming in from the city, and unfortunately it's looking like only train that will get me to campus by 9:45am is one that arrives at 7:46am. (Next one after that gets in at 9:43..) So, any ideas to kill time on campus or around the station? Any coffee shops nearby? Or is it possible to get a cab and make it to the admissions office in 2 minutes? 🙂

The LIRR station is on west campus (which is the actual Stony Brook University main campus) so you wouldn't really able to catch a cab and make it to east campus that quickly. There's a Dunkin Donuts off-campus which is a very short walk from the station. Alternatively, you could take the campus shuttle to the academic mall and walk around or get some food from a dining hall.

There's also a Starbucks in the lobby of the hospital. The admin office is in the hospital so that's probably your best bet if you want to kill some time and ensure punctuality.

stop by the admissions office, they'll show you the starbucks, the library where you can hang out for a bit...I arrived early as well and ended up taking a quick stroll through the building and a quick power nap in the library 😀

Sorry to hear that :/ Keep your head high. You have solid stats & I'm sure you'll land an acceptance(s) elsewhere!

Hey Clem,1. I know the grading system has been debated in the past few years, does anyone know what it will be for the Class of 2017? Is it still H/P/F and then P/F for second year, without a curve?
2. Does anyone know how long lectures typically are each day?
Not entirely sure about your first question. With respect to the second, I think you can get a really good idea for this on the website at the following link:

Hey all! I've been accepted a few days ago and figured I'd make an SDN to meet future matriculants. Not sure if there's a c/o 2017 Facebook page yet...
What's everyone's plans for housing?
(To anyone interviewing / waiting, best of luck!!)

I interviewed the same day, but I still haven't heard back :/
So, I was supposed to interview tomorrow and but superstorm Nemo totally screwed up my plans. I rescheduled for next Friday. Just so everyone knows, Nancy from admissions was SO nice and oddly motherly (lol) and told me she didn't want me driving in the crazy snow. She offered me three dates (all next week) to reschedule!
