<p>It isn’t a lower end school-- and this year its even much more competitive. 6 kids in my class got deferred and their grades were well within range. . . </p>
<p>Anyways, for Stony Brook, the average grade is about 91% HS avg and like a 1210 or 1240? i think, i hear both numbers. Its hard to get in below a 1200 and VERY hard to get in below an 1150. . . The average is not as important, just make sure you have above an 87. . .which you do not. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t call it a safety school if you aren’t above the average (1200, 91%)</p>
<p>Oh and your scholars thing . . .
i don’t know if its a scam, but it just looks like there isn’t ANY benefit to joining.
