Stony Brook University?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Got my acceptance call from Anita this afternoon! 🙂
 
Yes! This was the school I wanted most. 🙂 What about you?
 
Do you guys mind sharing your stats? Thanks.
 
Hey guys,

I was also accepted to Stony Brook, and now I'm choosing between SB and Columbia. What other schools were you considering, and why did you choose SB?

Thanks!
 
Do you guys mind PMing me your stats? I plan on applying to SB in about 2 years, Thanks!
 
I chose SB for personal reasons. It is close and the tuition is very manageable. The cost-to-benefit ratio is quite high. I don't know much about Colombia's program and their stats. But it is a reputable school so I assume it is good but also very expensive. All in all, just do some research and see what floats your boat. Some factors may be their graduation rate, exam pass rate, tuition cost, location, staff, class size, etc. As for my stats for the next poster, they were mediocre. My GPA was around 3.1 but I took a bunch of extra classes and boosted it up to 3.3-3.4. My pre-requisite GPA was pretty good because of that and it was a 3.7ish. GRE's were slightly above the average I think. But numbers aside have some extra curricular activities and a killer essay!
 
How early did you guys apply? and how long did it take for Stony Brook to get back to you with a decision??

Thanks!

Oh yes, and how quickly did you enter the supplemental application after they received your PTCAS?

My PTCAS was sent out 9/4, and I believe I sent my supplemental mid- to late October. Stony Brook emailed me on 11/7 with an interview invite scheduled for 12/7.

They called/emailed with their decision mid-December (a little less than 2 weeks after the interview).
