Not Sure of My Chances...

<p>Hi everyone, this is my first post on CC so if I need to add anything just let me know.</p>

<p>I'm really interested in Stony Brook not only because it's close enough (and far enough) away from home, but also because their medical program seems really promising. I'm a student from Locust Valley HS on Long Island.</p>

<p>I consider myself a pretty strong student, these are what I consider my highlights that I'd want a college to know:</p>

<ul>
<li>Full IB Diploma Candidate (Maintaining a 92-93 unweighted average)</li>
<li>Cross Country Athlete (10th - 12th grade)</li>
<li>Science Research Program in Senior year to continue research begun from IB Extended Essay</li>
<li>A good amount of community service</li>
<li>Work experience from 11th-12th grade and will be working throughout senior year.</li>
<li>2040 SAT Score</li>
</ul>

<p>I guess my issue is I don't really have a LOT of extracurriculars to back up my decent grades and just wanted to know generally what my chances look like for this school. Thanks!</p>

<p>I would be surprised if you weren’t accepted. Your stats are above the IQR for Stony Brook, plus the whole IB Diploma thing. I wouldn’t worry.</p>

<p>You should be fine. Just work on highlighting whatever EC qualifications you do possess.</p>
