Chance Me?

<p>As of last October, my SAT score is a 1660:
Math - 580
Critical Reading - 510
Writing - 570</p>

<p>My GPA as of Junior Year last year is around a 2.9 to a 3.0 (around a 84-85 i guess)</p>

<p>I was on the Wrestling Team last year and I'm the captain of the Golf team this year. I've been on the Golf team since Sophomore year.</p>

<p>I have like over 250 hours in Community Service and I have work experience from Summer jobs.</p>

<p>This year I've stepped it a notch and been getting 90s in my classes and stuff, trying to raise my average even though they might not even see it.</p>

<p>I really want to get into Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Tough call from what you've posted... if you really have done better this year, it might be a situation where we need to see midyear grades or something along those lines. The average SAT for admitted students for Fall 07 was a 1241/1600, to give you some kind of guideline.</p>

<p>Hm.. alright thanks. </p>

<p>Would applying early action increase my chances?</p>

<p>your better off going to an easier school and getting a higher GPA,, Stony Brook is extremely demanding keep that in mind</p>

<p>No, early action and regular admit requirements are the same.</p>

<p>does SBU superscore?</p>

<p>Superscore?</p>

<p>-Chris</p>

<p>Superscore is taking the highest grade from each section of the SAT from different exams.
Like if you get:
CR-520
M-580
W-440
and you take it again and get:
CR-570
M-570
W-570</p>

<p>Would SB look at highest score from each test and see that:
CR-570
M-580
W-570
and get an overall 1720?</p>

<p>Ah. Just never heard the term before. Yes, we do, but we don't look at the SAT Writing, so it'd be an 1150 in this case.</p>

<p>-Chris</p>

<p>so i have a 1350 then...according to SBU Standards. that's good enough?</p>

<p>Not necessarily in isolation from the rest of your academic history, but it's certainly above the average SAT score of last year's incoming class.</p>

<p>So I got a letter in the mail today from Stony Brook and I got in!</p>
