<p>I've been accepted to Macaulay honors for Baruch and Stony Brook and I'm still waiting for a lot of decisions from schools like Cornell, Brown and Carnegie Mellon. However, Stony is giving me a scholarship so I have been seriously considering it. I heard that it was one of the better public universities for the sciences but I want to know how it compares to schools like Cornell and Brown in terms of the strength of their physics, math and computer science departments.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Stony Brook is supposed to be pretty good for math, especially geometry. I would consider it on par with the other departments you listed. </p>

<p>One of my math professors told me that he transferred from Cornell to Stony Brook when he was in grad school.</p>
