Son of NY,
I'd call Stony Brook if they haven't contacted you yet and you believe you have a really good chance at getting in. When I applied I was surprised that they hadn't mailed me an invitation for an interview, but I didn't do anything about it (I really didn't want to go there). My application was complete in September and around January someone from the admissions office called me and said, "We're sorry, but we've lost your application." "What are my options?" I asked. "You can send it in again." "No thanks was my reply. I'll just take a refund."
