Please join me in welcoming our newest College Rep, sbuadmissions from SUNY Stonybrook!

(As a reminder, we have taken reasonable steps to verify that our College Rep members are indeed who they claim to be. If you encounter anyone in the community who claims to be from a college's admissions office but isn't designated as a College Rep, please let us know and be wary of any advice provided before that person is so designated.)

Stop in and say hello in this thread, but please do NOT use this thread to ask questions - start a new thread with an appropriate title. In addition, since our College Reps are busy people, please do NOT start threads asking for help specifically from the Rep - please post the query to the community in general, and you'll be likely to get multiple informed views on the subject. If the College Rep can provide useful input, no doubt he/she will chime in.

when do the students find out if they are offered an interview at the scholars for medicine program at honors college?

(for in-state new york residents?)

Welcome sbuadmissions!

I have a question. What kind of candidate receives scholarships (merit aid)? Is there a range of SAT scores or GPAs or extracirricular involvement? What is the lowest and highest amount of merit aid SBU will award?

i called up the honors program at Stony brook today and the lady on the other line was the meanest person i had ever spoken to. She was rude and did not answer any question properly. Are all people at stony brook like that?

Not to clog the welcome thread with Honors College discussion, but I'd bet they're probably pretty swamped with folks freaking out that their stuff hasn't been received. If you've been admitted, odds are we have your transcripts and stuff. I know e-mail's not necessarily as immediate as a phone call, but don't be afraid to shoot us an e-mail; it gives us plenty of time to check all the paperwork.

(Plus -- you get it in writing that we have all your stuff, which is good for your peace of mind.)

Danny - Thanks for the plug for your friend; I can't speak to other folks' applications, but I wish her the best of luck in her college search.

Chocolate - Scholarship consideration usually starts around a 93 HS average and around a 1300ish reading/math SAT; it kinda depends on the applicant pool. That's roughly where it was last year. As far as the dollars go, we start at $1000 and go all the way up to full room and board.

Hope this helps, and feel free to drop me a line if you have any other questions. E-mail and Web address are in my profile.
