Hey guys, I got into Wayne State, and now I'm considering whether to attend my upcoming stony brook interview. Both their tuitions are insanely expensive (67k a year) for OOS applicants like myself, and it seems that their locations and environments are extremely different. Which school is better? Can I get In-state tuition at stony brook after a year? Or am I locked into paying full OOS tuition for all 4 years like for Wayne State? Is it worth it to attend the Stony Brook interview or should I cancel it and just go to Wayne?

Stony Brook is a long and expensive trip from home and I'm not sure I'm feeling another long trip if the outcome isn't going to better than what I already have. Tell me what you know about both schools please!

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with Wayne at all but I was invited to and attended an interview at Stony Brook. During the financial aid presentation, they said that pretty much everyone was able to pay in state tuition after the first year as students can get NY in state residency after a year. Best of luck deciding and good luck if you decide to go to the interview!

You might get better financial aid from another school, so attending that interview might pay for itself a hundred times over even with similar stated CoAs. You should really only withdraw/skip on schools that you would not attend over a current acceptance even with a significantly better aid package.

Stony Brook for sure so Wayne can accept me 🙂
