Hi,

I am applying to Stony Brook and I need to anticipate their decision to find out about possibilities for studying abroad in a gap year program.

I will apply with a 2.9 (although I am doing much better this year) =( and a 2020 on my sat’s - a 1400 on the first two sections.

I am an eagle scout, the top ranked debater in the state, involved with DECA (state finalist)(similar to FBLA), do over 300 hours of service per year, hold down a job at dunkin donuts, and attend another high school where I have a transcript with over 30 classes with grades. I go to an extremely extremely competitive high school that is very well respected. I also played football for 3 years. Lastly I have completed the Dale Carnegie course, studied at the Knesset (Israeli congress), and met/trained with high ranking military officials.

Do my EC activities and SAT’s balance out my GPA enough to get an acceptance?
