A few questions on admission

[tehevan]

<p>Stony brook is my first choice school and i'm really determined to get into stony brook.</p>

<p>My Sat scores are:</p>

<p>1070(Math:510 Reading:560)</p>

<p>My overall grade is a 84 and I have a lot of activities and community service.
For example the outreach program, welfare to work program, also clubs like the Film Club.</p>

<p>I'm currently taking one AP course in my senior year(AP government and Economics)</p>

<p>I'm from westchester
race: african american</p>

<p>I firstly wanted to know my chances.</p>

<p>After seeing around the forums and what not i don't think that they are high so i bet my chances are pretty slim and i really want to get into stonybrook for its computer science program and to be with my best friends.
I wanted to know if i wasn't accepted for Freshman year could I go to another college and apply for transfer for the spring of freshman year? Because i heard you don't get your first semester grades till mid-late decemeber so i thought it might be a problem.</p>

<p>Great question, actually. Yes, your GPA/SAT look low for admission this fall; we're likely going to have a large, competitive applicant pool.</p>

<p>But as far as transferring goes -- typically, we're looking for at least one full year, with 24 credits and at least a 3.0 GPA COMPLETED for transfer admission. If you were not admitted as a freshman, it'd be nearly impossible for you to complete the minimum transfer requirements in time for next spring, unfortunately. Your best bet would be the following fall (or later).</p>

<p>I know it's not the answer you were hoping for, but those are the general guidelines. Hope it helps.</p>
