<p>What are my chances of getting to SB?
SAT: CR= 530, Math=640 Writing=440
GPA: 3.7~3.8( overall average 90.14 )</p>
<p>Joined a few clubs such as keyclub and I was lead designer for the school magazine.</p>
<p>~_~ Not very impressive stats :/</p>
<p>Could be worse. You have a decent shot, but if I were you I’d retake the SAT. If you get 1000 on Reading and Writing combined, you can skip one of the two required writing courses. (Only the highest scores are considered.) If you also get a 3 on the AP test for either of the two English courses (Literature or Composition), you can skip the second. The EC’s sound nice, particularly that lead designer bit.</p>
<p>Ive taken SAT 3 times. These were the best results.
I applied to Computer Engineering for fall 2012 and already submitted my app. I think its a little too late to retake it 
Also took 2 AP classes( AP Java, and AP Pysch(taking it right now) ) passed java with a 3.
Some of my friends have already received the acceptance.
Getting more nervous day by day.</p>
<p>Had you specified that then, I would’ve gone about this a bit differently.</p>
<p>I still think you’ve got a chance. Stony Brook isn’t the hardest place to get into, it’s getting through that counts. Check SOLAR, by the way, you’ll find out there before you get the official letter. I happened upon it out of curiosity in December, thinking I wouldn’t find out until right about now, and found out that I got accepted! The only thing your official, tangible letter will tell you that SOLAR doesn’t is whether you’ve been directly admitted to your major or not. If not, you might be put on AOI (Area of Interest). Just take some intro courses related to ECE your first year as you would normally, and you’re good to go.</p>
<p>Oh, and as for the writing test I mentioned, I think there’s a proficiency test that you can take to skip the first of two required writing courses as you would with a 1000 on Reading+Writing on the SAT. If you’re really interested in computer engineering, you can take the proficiency test for CSE 114 to possibly skip it (right now you only have credit for CSE 110). If you program on your own (which you really should if you’re interested in the subject), this ought to be a piece of cake.</p>
<p>By the way, I myself am going into computer science!</p>
<p>Thanks, I think I’ll definitly give that a try.
I’ve been checking soloar for a while now, and it’s still on the application processing page.
Friends told me that I have a good chance, but I’m starting to doubt that as many have already confirm the acceptance through Solar, and mail almost a month ago.
Im not really concerning if I make it into the major. As long as I can get into SB I’m fine with that. ~_~ I just hope I get some sort of message soon.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate is 41%, I wouldn’t worry. I’ve seen people with lesser grades get in. Remember, good grades with mediocre test scores usually shows that you’re dedicated, but just not great at tests. The opposite often shows that you’re lazy, because you understand the material, right? So why not do the work you’re given?</p>
<p>If I were you, since you’re into ECE I’d spend some time taking up programming or DIY electronics or something. Getting a head start in some basic material is always fun, and if you actually give a damn about it you’ll forget that you’re learning. This ought to get you started. [Arduino</a> - HomePage](<a href=“http://arduino.cc%5DArduino”>http://arduino.cc) And really, since you’re majoring in engineering you’re gonna need to lighten your study hours. (110 credits for ECE! Yikes!)</p>
<p>Hope im part of that 41%
another question.
Lets say I got rejected from the CE major, will that automatically put me in the reject list for the school? Or will they reconsider me and let me chose another major?</p>
<p>You will NOT be automatically rejected from the school if you’re not accepted into the major. I believe you’ll be put under AOI, aka Area of Interest. Just start taking required classes your first year as you would normally (and any proficiency tests) and you’ll be fine.

<p>Listen, it’s normal to freak about whether you’ve gotten into X college or not. You’ve got what it takes. I’ll see you there.</p>
<p>i agree. you have a slight chance for this school. it is certainly not a reach for you. Stony brook’s students tend to have a 90 and above average and close to a 1200 M&R on the SAT.</p>
