@sbuadmissions Hi, I applied to Stony Brook and submitted my application through the Common App and indicated that WISE is my first choice for the honors programs. However, I don’t know where I can submit the essay that WISE requires. Is there any way I can do this? Your response would mean so much because I’m very passionate to get into WISE. Thank you!
I also applied to WISE and submitted my essay through Solar. After you apply, they send you your Stony Brook ID and a temporary password that you use to log in.
The essay should have submitted before the due date: January 25. Unfortuantely, you’re not able to submit your essay if you’re past the due date and they remove the tab “Upload your Honors essay”.
Sorry, the due date was actually January 15. Either way, it’s too late.
I had no idea January 15 was the due date for WISE because I looked all over but I never thought that there was a deadline for it. Do you know if I can somehow still submit it, like could I call them and ask them for a small extension? I unfortunately had a family issue and for the past week everything has been a hassle.
You can try, but they always send out at least two reminders about the essay deadline approaching. It’s also on their website. I’m not sure how lenient they are since it’s already been two weeks.
Thats so weird because I submitted my application on January 13 but never got any reminders at all about the essay. This sucks!! 
You can try mailing a printed copy of the essay to them. If anything they can blame it on “snail mail”.
