Does any know the admissions requirements to get into Stony Brook’s computer science major?
Enrolling in CSE Courses
To enroll in CSE courses, students must:
Have completed all prerequisites with a grade of C or higher. (Pass/No Credit grades are not acceptable to meet prerequisites.) For transfer students, official transfer credit evaluations must have been completed.
Failure to satisfy the prerequisites or to attend the first class may result in deregistration. The Pass/No Credit option is not available for CSE courses.
Acceptance into the Computer Science Major
Qualified freshman may be accepted directly into the Computer Science major upon admission to the University. Currently enrolled students and transfer students may apply for acceptance to the major after completing at least ten credits of required CSE courses, including CSE 114 and CSE 215, with grades of B- or higher and a grade point average of 3.20 or higher in these courses. Only one of these courses may be repeated. Transfer students who have completed equivalent courses at another school with grades of B- or higher need not retake these courses, but should keep in mind that grades do not transfer and grade point averages are calculated on the basis of courses completed at Stony Brook. Students must have completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements of the major. Priority is given to students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher.
Also here’s an idea of the general rigor level of the demographic
Highschool GPA 91-97 or 3.6-4.0
SAT 1240-1380
SAT Math 620-730
ACT 26-31
Entrance Requirements
4 units of English
4 units of social studies
3 units of mathematics (4 units required for engineering, applied sciences, and pharmacology)
3 units of science (4 units required for engineering, applied sciences, and pharmacology)
2 or 3 units of a foreign language
If you want to do CSE, take AP comp sci and calc BC. It will place you out of really hard classes at SB.
