Will I be able to get into Stony Brook?

<p>GPA of 3.8
SAT of 1580/2400
ACT of 24</p>

<p>I took another ACT today I hope it's better</p>

<p>I'll take SAT II soon.</p>

<p>played a year of sports
did volunteer at hospitals
got into National Honor Society
joined some clubs: Math Team, FBLA, Pre-Med</p>

<p>do you guys think I'll make it into Stony brook?</p>

<p>You’ll probably need about 1100 CR+M, and I’m not sure what you have because you included the writing portion. GPA is good if it’s unweighted. ACT is on the low range, but Stony Brook isn’t big on the ACT. Stony Brook doesn’t look at ECs as much as private schools do. Stony Brook is probably a match, but maybe a reach if you have a weak CR+M or if your GPA is heavily weighted.</p>

<p>Oh thanks for the reply, that GPA is unweighted, weighted is like 104.</p>

<p>470 Reading
660 Math</p>

<p>These are my math and Reading grades for SAT.</p>

<p>30 Math
20 English
19 Reading
28 science</p>

<p>Those are my ACT grades.</p>

<p>Stony Brook is a match. I don’t know anything about the ACT, but I’d retake the SAT try and get your CR up a little higher if you can and you shouldn’t have any problems getting in.</p>

<p>OH ok thanks a lot. </p>

<p>and btw, I read comments about the school and many of them say that it’s a bad school because of the social atmosphere, is that true?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t quite put it that way. Stony Brook is what you make of it, but there’s definitely always something to do. There are around 10,000 people living on campus, and you’ll never be alone. I think that a lot of the people who don’t like Stony Brook’s social atmosphere is because they need to be proactive in meeting people. If you don’t talk to anyone, you won’t know anyone. The problem is, you can’t expect anyone to talk to you because 9 times out of 10, they won’t unless you have friends in common. If you’re not an extrovert, there are always clubs to join and they’re an easy way to make friends.</p>

<p>I definitely wouldn’t rule Stony Brook out for its social life. Being so big, it has everything that you can possibly want.</p>

<p>oh I see thanks a lot, that really helped me.</p>
