<p>From Stony Brook Undergraduate Admission Facts:</p>

<p>Academic Profile of Enrolled Freshmen
GPA: 3.3-3.7/87-94 (3.6/91 mean)
SAT: mid-50% range for Math: 580-670; Critical Reading: 540-630; Writing: 530-620
ACT: mid-50% range 24-28 </p>

<p>Looks like your on the lower end of these numbers, but certainly possibe.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Well it says that the middle 50% got those grades so they still accepted half of the applicants with grades that were similar to mine.</p>

<p>According to the website, the requirements are basically minimum 1120. . . I've seen people get in with lower SAT's and lower GPA's too . . .so you never know. I guess you really have to prove to the school that you really want to go . . . Essays and junk I guess. Make sure you have enough extra curricular's throughout your high school year- not just last minute. I am not 100% sure if you could get in, but providing you have a good essay, lots of ec's and a few AP classes then you have a shot.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help, where exactly do you show the school that your involved in extra curriculars? Does my councilor put them on my transcript? </p>

<p>As far as the essay ive shown it to a lot of people and they have told me that it is very good, and this year i am taking only one AP class.</p>

<p>Are you doing the Common App? They actually require you to briefly state your 7 favorite extra curricular's.</p>

<p>No i actually used the SUNY Application. But i think they ask you about them in the Supplemental application. If im correct then ill just put all the things i did in there.</p>
