I am an international student applying for Political Science. These are my Stats
SAT : 1220 ; (560 English and 660 Math - I have a 6 predicted score in English and scored a 6 throughout the 2 years of IB)
I’m enrolled in the IB diploma and my predicted score is 35
I have decent extracurriculars.
I recently got into Umass Amherst but SBU is a top choice for me.
Can anyone give me some context as to how competitive is political science at SBU??
These are my stats just give an insight of where other applicants stand, but I am not sure how competitive political science is at Stony Brook because I applied as Biochemistry major.
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, varsity handball as a junior, cross country, indoor, outdoor track from sophomore to junior year, 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 good chance of getting into Stony Brook?
Best of luck getting in!
