…still waiting on Stony Brook…do they make you wait until April 1st? DD did not get into Macaulay CC but was accepted into RPI. She had good SAT (1480) but GPA about 89. Junior year was tough for her and she’s in a top, competitive NYC HS. She’s been doing amazing in terms of grades senior year. Let’s see what happens.
For those who got into one of the honors programs, what were your stats?
Please respond and give me an honest response.
I applied as Biochemistry major as an undergraduate at Stony Brook.
I have about a 4.0 gpa which is 93 gpa weighted and 1220 SAT. I have 4 recommendation letters and 1 solid college essay for the common app, except for my other 2 supplement essay which are not for Stony Brook. I am in the varsity male swim team at my school for 2 years, nyc park swim team for 5 years, and vice president during senior year for the Christian Seeker Club for 3 years. I currently volunteer at my church’s children worship program and VBS summer program. My ethnicity is Asian American if that helps as well. I applied around January 12th couple days before the day deadline, January 15,2019. I have taken 3 APs as a junior ( US History, English Language, Biology) and now take 5 APs as a senior ( Physics 1, Calculus AB, Computer Science Principles, English Literature, and US Government and Politics). I also have taken 4 college now classes( College and Career Development, Science, Pre-Calc, and Intro to Business). Will I have a good chance of getting into Stony Brook?

Hey guys, if anybody got accepted through EOP could you let me know how you found out? I just checked my solar portal and it has a new section for “New Students”, and that section has a subsection which is called “EOP Accept/Decline”. Clicking on it brings me to a page with the message of “Our records indicate that you have not accepted/declined the EOP Program offer yet. Please make selection below to accept or decline the EOP Program offer, then click the Submit button to complete the acceptance/decline:” and it then has an accept and decline button to click. I don’t know if this is admission to SBU and does clicking on the accept button commit you to SBU?
@Frenzyplants New Students section means that you are admitted. You should get an official email in a couple of days. I am basing this on the posts here on CC. This should apply to EOP as well.
Clicking on accept button sounds like commitment, so I think could wait for official email from SB and then proceed.
Got it, thanks!
