<p>I am a US permanent resident living abroad willing to apply at SBU for spring 14 for computer science major. I have an SAT score of 2030 (Math-740, CR-580, writing-710). I havent taken my SAT II yet but expect the scores to be quite good (maybe something in the range of 2320-2370 out of 2400, with 770-800 on math level 2). My GCE O Level (i.e. 10th grade) and A Level (i.e. 11th and 12th grade)results are pretty good too. In my O Levels I got A grade in all subjects apart from English( in which I got a B) and my math scores were excellent as I got a 99% in "Mathematics B" and a 98% in Pure Mathematics. Got A in all subjects in GCE A Levels as well with above 90% marks in mathematics. Extra Curriculars are not that strong though. They include guitar and photography and apart from that I was member of several clubs in my high school,including the community service club, green club and astronomy club. I have also done volunteer works in community service. And I have basic computer programming knowledge as well (completed CS101 course online at Udacity and received a certificate for that). Do you think I have a chance of being accepted at SBU?</p>
<p>Someone please reply…</p>
<p>You’re probably fine, I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
<p>I am a current student at SBU and well I had a similar case because I too am a permanent resident and I used to live abroad.
With your grades, SAT scores and extracurriculars, I’d say you’ll definitely get in.</p>
<p>Hi Summo619. Great to know someone with a similar case as mine got accepted at SBU. By the way, I would like to know how you filled the FAFSA. I mean, did you put the amount of income and taxes in your own currency or the US currency? My parents too are permanent residents living abroad and they neither earn nor pay taxes at USA. So should I simply enter the amounts in the US currency? I am totally confused.</p>
<p>I think you should have no problem.</p>
