<p>Anyone??? Plssssss!1!!!</p>

<p>I’m an international from the UK (but i’m studying in a US high school) and have pretty similar stats. I got in.<br>
(actually yours are a bit better, since you have more ECs and a higher GPA)</p>

<p>@ryanrego… does Stony brook offer any scholarships to internationals?</p>

<p>Hi venkatasuhas. Your profile seems pretty strong and you seem to have a very good chance of being accepted. I am an international student willing to apply at SBU too but for the spring 14 session. I have a question about the TOEFL score. According to the university website, students with 480+ in SAT critical reading dont have to submit a TOEFL score. However, you submitted your TOEFL score despite having a 560 in CR. Should I do the same too? I have a score of 580 in CR and I am really confused about the TOEFL issue. Will sending the TOEFL score increase my chances?</p>

<p>i’m not sure about stony, but i know that most dont</p>

<p>@Tanzim Most of the other schools that I applied to reqiured a TOEFL score to be submitted,so I sent it to stony brook too.I think it would be good if you submit your TOEFL score(if you got a good score) because it shows that you are not only proficient in reading and writing but also in speaking and listening.</p>
