<p>Hi, I have been accepted to SBU for AOI in Pre-Biomedical Engineering. Can someone explain me what Pre-Biomedical Engineering is? I know that AOI stands for Area in interest. The question is why didn't I get a direct admission into the major?
My SAT score is critical reading 480, maths 690 and writing 650. My TOEFL score is 102/120.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The program requires that you have certain levels of math and physics before being admitted into the major. Once you take the required classes you can apply to the major. </p>

<p>Thank you, Megan. But is it going to take me more time than other students who have got directly into the major?
Plus, does this mean that I’ll have to pay more for the completion of pre-requisites?</p>

<p>@sbuadmissions‌ Hey, Megan can you answer my above question? I need to know about the process by which I can fulfill the requirements to get into my major so that I can pay my deposits!
Thank you.</p>

<p>You will not have to pay more, as long as you take from 12-22 credits a semester I believe it is the same price. You will need to complete some math and physics classes, but you won’t be too far behind assuming you took classes in high school that relate. <a href=“http://sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/bulletin/current/academicprograms/bme/degreesandrequirements.php”>http://sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/bulletin/current/academicprograms/bme/degreesandrequirements.php&lt;/a&gt; Here are the requirements for entering the major as well as the courses you will take in the major. I would email <a href=“mailto:Jessica.Kuhn@stonybrook.edu”>Jessica.Kuhn@stonybrook.edu</a>, the undergraduate coordinator for Biomedical Engineering. She can help explain better and let you know how everything will work out. </p>

<p>@sbuadmissions‌ Since I’ll have to fulfill my pre-requisites by studying some Math and Physics courses, does this mean that it will take me more time than 4yrs. and will I lag behind with respect to those students who got directly into the major?</p>

<p>No, it’s still designed as a four-year program as long as you keep doing what you have to do.</p>
