Stony Brook seems like a great school for Computer Science. I was also accepted into NYU Poly (Honors Program), Binghamton and RIT. I especially like the fact that Stony Brook is close to home (I live on the Island), possibility that I’ll be commuting, bit of a drive though. Congratulations to everyone else who was accepted! Haven’t heard anything in terms of potential scholarships or honors programs yet.</p>

Well, I can’t say I’m going to go there just yet, but I got a good response from the biomedical engineering department asking about their program. Haven’t heard about scholarships yet. Looks like it would be a fun place to go to. Still unsure about the whole- everyone leaves on the weekends thing though.</p>

<p>General - Only applied to UB and SB and accepted to both… very excited for SB because it was her top choice, so she will be accepting SB offer. Biology - wants to go to Med School. Don’t think she will get scholarship due to her SAT scores which is upsetting to her (that she can’t do well on that test, due to time limits) - but mostly because she wanted WISE or Honors… but it is what it is and she will put it behind her and move on :-)</p>

Will be attending if I can cover most of the cost with financial aid, my stats as you can see is probably the lowest depth of CC pyramid but I’m nearly satisfied coming from an undereducated poor family and environment. Congratulation to everyone else, hope to learn much more from SBU and as of now am planning to attend. Also will be dorming.</p>
