<p>Freshmen year my GPA was 84%.
Sophomore year: 81%
Junior Year: 86% as of now still working on it.</p>
<p>I will try as hard as i can in senior year and i am determinded to get a 1700-1800+ on the SATs. I really want to get in SUNY Stony Brook. Its perfect for me any suggestions what i can do to get in there?</p>
<p>Bring up your grades a bit, try to shoot for about an 88-90. Prepare yourself well for the SATs, especially the math section, and try to shoot for 600+ for each.</p>
<p>As you are now, you’re a decent shot. Update us with your SATs so we can know more.</p>
<p>hmm thanks for the feedback. so if i excel in senior year too will they look at that too? also Any other suggestions on what i should send them like the essay and reccomendation letters?</p>
<p>google common date set plus your school and check out the numbers for yourself…</p>
<p>Take two or three AP courses next year, especially in areas you’re interested in.</p>
<p>I will be majoring in computer science and maybe minoring some science subject. So which are good AP courses that i should take? My schools offers most of AP courses</p>
<p>Take anything you’re interested in, whether it’s credit for a requirement to clear or some desired placement. Remember that a 3 on any test guarantees some kind of credit, if not for a full course then for a DEC requirement.</p>
<p>If you’re really indecisive, however, you should probably take AP Computer Science, some natural science, and either Calculus AB or BC, as AP Statistics won’t get you placement in lieu of the Stony Brook’s math placement exam. There’s a natural science requirement for the CS major; you need to take the main sequence in either biology, chemistry, or physics, and an intro course in one of the other two. Then for Calculus, AB will get you credit for one semester, and BC will get you credit for two. However, the courses focus more on the theory of calculus, as evidenced by their value in MAT (Mathematics) credit, as opposed to AMS (Applied Math and Statistics) credit. I’m in AB now, and plan on taking Applied Calculus II next year. If I were you, I’d try and skip as many intro courses in college as possible. Most of them are huge and full of clowns who waste resources and ultimately drop out, and the CS sequence is no exception.</p>
<p>Also, since I wanna major in CS too, I’m thinking we should buddy up. Given the sheer rigor of the CS coursework and the necessity for teamwork in lots of significant projects, you ought to make as many pals in the department as possible.</p>
<p>Also, see if you can double minor in something that overlaps with the CSE major, DEC requirements, and/or your first minor. I think that everyone should at least consider this. If your interests deal you a good hand, you might not have to take too many extra courses!</p>
<p>You have a shot. My brother applied to Stony brook with a 90 average and a 1760 on sat. He got in.</p>
<p>Colleges mostly look at your junior transcript grades. Sorry, but in my opinion, you’re going to be struggling to get into Stony.</p>
<p>I’ve got in for Fall 2012 with a 82 UW GPA and 1900 SAT.</p>
<p>Only thing significant things about my application would be the two years of volunteer work and the fact that I come from a competitive high school. The only AP I’ve taken though is in my senior year.</p>
<p>Although I wouldn’t settle for the minimum.</p>
