All SUNYS (2023-2024)

[left mauve]

Stony Brook

[royal coyote]

have you checked some of these colleges' scattergrams with act scores?

[grizzled lance]

out of spite i ranked stuy last

[royal coyote]

for some reason everyone with act just gets in

idk why

[grizzled lance]

i’ll do it in a bit!

computer died

[royal coyote]

u in the city?

rip

[left mauve]

LI

Bummy school

[grizzled lance]

hardly anyone takes the act tho

[royal coyote]

rip

nahhh gang act on top

[grizzled lance]

mostly ppl who can’t break 1500

[royal coyote]

i did mid (relatively) on the sat so i went act

1550/35

[grizzled lance]

take a shot at the act

[royal coyote]

we cooking?

[grizzled lance]

nicee

[royal coyote]

bing act

[left mauve]

I concluded that at my school, if you have a 1240 or a 95+ gpa, you get in (CS excluded)

[royal coyote]

stony act

this is just evidence of the act bias

and our superiority

[royal coyote]

most colleges rate u based on ur area and school i heard

so its a little different for everyone

[grizzled lance]

everyone from my school this yr who did stony çs got deferred

[royal coyote]

whaa really

[grizzled lance]

yea

at least anecdotally

but everyone’s been saying that

[royal coyote]

thats unfortunate

[tribal gazelle]

i wonder whats the ar for stony cs

they mightve gotten all deffered bc stony didnt have time to look at all the apps

[grizzled lance]

true

but it’s been cs in particular

[whole dragon]

Got accepted into Bsc Maths but not CEAS

[royal coyote]

thats wild

do they do that???

[tribal gazelle]

i think thats a theory

[whole dragon]

Can I write an appeal? For like a minor at least?

[tribal gazelle]

it happened to bing apparently as well

[grizzled lance]

yea cuz they couldn’t finish before the deadline

[royal coyote]

that kinda sucks

they just couldnt read all of them 😭

[grizzled lance]

i did stony rd and got my decision back before a lot of ea ppl tho

[grizzled lance]

what’s the transfer policy?

[tribal gazelle]

yeah stony is just weird like that lol

[whole dragon]

Umm undergrad? First year

[royal coyote]

maybe they like

sort based on ur stats

and then just go down

or they know we specialized high school kids are built different

[whole dragon]

I’m not sure what ur asking sorry

[tribal gazelle]

yeah i think stony cds favors stats heavily

[royal coyote]

what is cds

[grizzled lance]

r u talking abt programs within the same school

[tribal gazelle]

they only have ecs as “considered

[tribal gazelle]

common data set

[royal coyote]

oh

[whole dragon]

They said that I can only take Bs maths or an arts program essentially but not a CEAS program ever

[grizzled lance]

oh whatt

[whole dragon]

Yeaaa

Like ig I’m accepted but not into college of Engg

[tribal gazelle]

they actually put test scores as very important

which is the highest

[royal coyote]

thats fire

id much rather be judged on stats than ecs

[tribal gazelle]

same

[royal coyote]

(i did not raise a million for brain cancer research)

sorry ivies!

[tribal gazelle]

i think thats why i was able to get into stony cs lmao

[royal coyote]

what r ur stats?

[left mauve]

Anyone know how difficult it is to get approval for a dual major between ams and cse

if I was accepted into ams

[tribal gazelle]

97.23 uw, no weighted, 1490 sat for stony, but i got it up to 1580 in october

[left mauve]

damn near identical stats (minus the 1580)

[tribal gazelle]

i actually have the same question but going from cse and then dual majoring with ams

[tribal gazelle]

noice

[left mauve]

Like I know they HEAVILY encourage people to go for a dual major, so I think it is more or less expected

[royal coyote]

CRACKED

[left mauve]

Did you get results back in mid december too?

[tribal gazelle]

once u see the rest of my app, u wont think so lmfao

[royal coyote]

did u do honors

[tribal gazelle]

yea

[royal coyote]

nahhhh everyone who says that

are being humble

[tribal gazelle]

i got rejected

[royal coyote]

oh what

ummmmm it might be over for me

[left mauve]

Just do CS honors once ur in

[tribal gazelle]

i shouldve probably sent my 1580

lol

[royal coyote]

u didnt????!?!?!

[tribal gazelle]

i forgot

lmao

[royal coyote]

BRUH

[tribal gazelle]

tiny mistake on my part

[left mauve]

I love how this is just a stony, bing, and MAYBE buffalo thread

[tribal gazelle]

yeah lol

[left mauve]

see, I knew I was pretty much in (like unless I wrote about how I love to make bombs for fun). So I have that

[tribal gazelle]

my honors essay was also horrible

[royal coyote]

yep

[royal coyote]

fire personal statement?

[tribal gazelle]

i made that shit up in less than an hour

[left mauve]

if stony brook wasnt ABYSMAL in terms of like campus and social life, I would be so much happier to attend

[tribal gazelle]

and this was before i knew how to write an essay lol

[royal coyote]

shieldwall ngl u shot urself in the foot

[tribal gazelle]

yeah….

[royal coyote]

wym

[left mauve]

just look on the subreddit

[tribal gazelle]

now im subject to the shitty dorms lmao

[royal coyote]

stony has ROTC and crew as well as near nyc so im happy

[low igloo]

Fr fr

[left mauve]

I think stony brook should require first 2 year dorming

[royal coyote]

what does it say?

[tribal gazelle]

they need to fix their dorms

[royal coyote]

no bruh im not tryna move

i live right next to the lirr station im chilling

[low igloo]

SUNY should lower the cost of dorming

[tribal gazelle]

i have friends of friends at stony who say that reddit kinda exaggerates it

[left mauve]

See I just dont wanna be hypocritical and bitch about it being a commuter school just to be a commuter

[tribal gazelle]

u can def have a good social life, if u try

[royal coyote]

yeah reddit is reddit i dont think its the best for accurate opinions

[low igloo]

reddit might not be accurate for opinions

[royal coyote]

social life and reddit use have an interesting relationship im pretty sure

well tbf the same could be said for this platform

[low igloo]

but i know people who went to stony and UB and they both hated it and dropped / trasnferred

[tribal gazelle]

we are the epitome of no grass touchers

[royal coyote]

at least we're using it for decent purposes

[tribal gazelle]

lol

[lethal jolt]

transferred where

[low igloo]

i'm not sure where, she graduated a bit ago.

[royal coyote]

nyc?

[left mauve]

No I live on LI

[royal coyote]

ah rip

[tribal gazelle]

are there actually ppl who commute from nyc to stony

thatd be hell

[low igloo]

yes

[royal coyote]

im planning on it

[tribal gazelle]

💀

[royal coyote]

i live 3 blocks from penn station

it says 2hrs

[tribal gazelle]

2 hrs aint it bruh

[royal coyote]

and if i do ROTC i have to be at SBU by 6:30 i think

for PT

[tribal gazelle]

💀

[royal coyote]

woo hoo~

[low igloo]

i thought stony brook's ROTC was at another college

[royal coyote]

nah

its like

weird

[low igloo]

yeah

[royal coyote]

its from another college but they split the program

[low igloo]

you take your classes somewhere else

or smthn

idk

[royal coyote]

no

thats what usually happens

but stony brook has an agreement with the rotc college

to split the rotc program

with the crosstown schools

so u either go to SBU or to the rotc college

for the shit

[tribal gazelle]

rez what major are u in

[low igloo]

why dont they just have it dedicated on campus tho

[royal coyote]

cs but im thinking about hopping to engineering

[royal coyote]

idk

its on campus

but its just

apart of another schools rotc

its weird ive never seen it be like that

[tribal gazelle]

ive heard mostly negative reviews of cse profs

[low igloo]

huh. interesting

[tribal gazelle]

there are a few that are good

[royal coyote]

i see

[low igloo]

i'll see if its the same for UB

[royal coyote]

low key

[tribal gazelle]

and then there are the 214 profs

[royal coyote]

im tryna work at a nuclear power plant

like high level type shit

manage the fusion reactors or something

when they drop

[left mauve]

If I end up at SBU im either going to end up trying to go for a PhD or become a FAANG shill

[tribal gazelle]

kinda wanna do research but that path looks hella rough

[low igloo]

my face when the fusion reactors were supposed to drop 100 years ago 💀

[royal coyote]

when i was a kid i told my mom id do 2 phds and she still tells me about it

[royal coyote]

yep

true man

we need the patch already

[tribal gazelle]

just give us another. 20 years

[royal coyote]

fr

[tribal gazelle]

we will have it by then

[low igloo]

so true homie

[royal coyote]

but

nuclear engineering is not a major i think

id have to do mech or electricity or something

[tribal gazelle]

really?

[low igloo]

just gonna squeeze the plasma with the magnet a LITTLE harder and another 9999 million dollars

[royal coyote]

but itd be cool.

[low igloo]

isn't there engineering physics

which is basically nuclear engineering

[tribal gazelle]

there is chem and molecular engineering

which ig is close?

[royal coyote]

yea

but see im on the fence

my entire like

profile has been designed thus far

to be a cs kid

so the possibility of switching to engineering

is uh

producing conflicting thoughts

[tribal gazelle]

wait did u get in

pr are u a junior

[low igloo]

do you mean a personal dilemma or a thing with your essays or smthn

cuz i dont think it would be a problem to switch unless sb makes it impossible to do that for everyone

[royal coyote]

im a junior

[low igloo]

(i dont actually know i dont want to go to sbu anymore)

[tribal gazelle]

its def near impossible to switch to cs i think

[royal coyote]

im talking about like

my plan ig

what i desire

[low igloo]

wait u didnt even apply yet

[tribal gazelle]

im not sure how hard it is to seitch to eng

[royal coyote]

noooo bruh

i guess i was exaggerating it

im just thinking LOL

this is all just thought

i have time

[low igloo]

Ngl it would be easier to get in if you didnt apply cs

[tribal gazelle]

see which one is harder to transfer to from the other

true

[royal coyote]

do u need to declare

before

?

[low igloo]

when you apply, you tell the school what major you want to apply for

[tribal gazelle]

yeah on ur app

[royal coyote]

i see

[low igloo]

even if theres a "first year engineering" thing, they ask you what your intended major is

[royal coyote]

my neighbor went to SBU for CS

5 years out

hes making half a mil

doing cloud engineering or some shit

[tribal gazelle]

sweet

[royal coyote]

i dont even know

[low igloo]

good for them

[royal coyote]

yeah fr hes cracked

now my parents are telling me SBU is the method 😭

[low igloo]

Its not the school

[tribal gazelle]

yeah its the person

[low igloo]

its what you make of the opportunities available to you

[royal coyote]

fr

[tribal gazelle]

im going to sbu if i dont get into my reaches lol

which is very probable

[royal coyote]

sbu pulling up to my school tmrw

[tribal gazelle]

so im making myself love stony

lmfao

[grizzled lance]

@royal coyote bing act

[low igloo]

i got into ohio state university with the national buckeye scholarship and i still cant afford it 🥲

[royal coyote]

im telling u bruh

ACT and ED

why

why everyone do that

[grizzled lance]

and stony

[royal coyote]

yep ACT is the method

[low igloo]

ladies and gentlemen is $35k/yr worth it

[grizzled lance]

maybe it's just smaller sample size

[tribal gazelle]

for osu?

[low igloo]

yea

[tribal gazelle]

thats 140k after 4 years

def not

[grizzled lance]

ehh work part time and u can knock out like

half of it

at least

through the school yr

[tribal gazelle]

idk thats a lotta money

[low igloo]

i would definitely work cuz i would feel like shit if i didnt

[grizzled lance]

wait until all ur decisions come out first

then try to negotiate

[low igloo]

UB costs me $20k/yr to stay on campus (my scholarships apply to "non tuition costs")

80k vs. 140k

[tribal gazelle]

def 80k

[royal coyote]

low key

[low igloo]

yea cuz thats already a shit ton of debt

[royal coyote]

id take loans for only 2 schools

[low igloo]

i dont want to go to grad school though

[royal coyote]

columbia (ed) or nyu

everything else gotta pay for me

or they aint being considered srry

[tribal gazelle]

is nyu even worth the loans

[royal coyote]

not worth my time

[tribal gazelle]

is nyu eng and cs better than stony

[royal coyote]

spam transfers to columbia obviously.............

[tribal gazelle]

lol

[low igloo]

i dont think so

[royal coyote]

nyu engineering i heard is kinda mid

cs is okay

its nyu so

[low igloo]

why would you take out loans for it then

[royal coyote]

its nyu bruh

[low igloo]

just because its nyu doesnt mean its good

[royal coyote]

i can live at home

[tribal gazelle]

yeah thats what i thought, theyre equal

[grizzled lance]

i feel like only stern is worth taking loans out for

[tribal gazelle]

agreed

[royal coyote]

if i get into nyu and not my ED then im literally just gonna spam transfers to it and pray i get to leave

im willing to take loans but not 4yr NYU loans

that shits wil lcripple me

[tribal gazelle]

lol

[low igloo]

oh yea thats another thing

i can do UB for 1-2 years and then transfer to like

[royal coyote]

what is ub

[grizzled lance]

buffalo

[low igloo]

university of buffalo

[royal coyote]

oh

[tribal gazelle]

universtiy at buffalo

the other suny flagship

[royal coyote]

buffalo is madd far

[low igloo]

i can transfer to purdue or UW or smthn

[tribal gazelle]

it gets destroyed by snow every year

[royal coyote]

damn nvm he going further

bro leaving the geographic region

[low igloo]

that is the goal

leave new york forever 💪

[grizzled lance]

i think i'll prob be back in nyc after college so i wanna leave the city for 4 yrs at least

[tribal gazelle]

why was ub chosen as a second flagship?

im can see why stony was chosen

but why ub??

[royal coyote]

why not bing or ualbany

lol

ive been on a tour to ualbany the bus ride set my opinion on it

(dogshit)

[low igloo]

20,000 undergraduates

[tribal gazelle]

apparently ub had that kind of prestige before flagship status

crazy that ny didnt have a flagship before like 2021

[low igloo]

wait is flagship like an actual status

[tribal gazelle]

yeah

[low igloo]

i thought it was just something you call a school if most kids from that state go there

[tribal gazelle]

nah

[low igloo]

dang im stupid 💀 what does it mean then

[royal coyote]

oh to further set SBU as my main SUNY choice

it has good minors

i already mentioned clubs i think

rowing is my dream ive always wanted to join a crew

[tribal gazelle]

i think if ur flagship, u get most funding

[low igloo]

lovely

[tribal gazelle]

and the state govt actually cares mor abt that uni lol

[low igloo]

new york wants people to go to buffalo

literally siberia

[tribal gazelle]

honestly lol

[royal coyote]

who wants to go to buffalo

[tribal gazelle]

not me

[royal coyote]

fr

[low igloo]

not me

[royal coyote]

at least long island u got

idk great gatsby?

thats p much it

at least u got that

[low igloo]

SBU costs like $28k for me tho

[tribal gazelle]

at least i get an lirr back home lol

[royal coyote]

oh price...

i forgot suny had tuition...

its not cuny haha

[tribal gazelle]

ub is more expensive than stony i think

unless ub gives u scholarship

that offsets it

[royal coyote]

stony does scholarships?

[low igloo]

and i dont really care for staying at home since my town and my school has been a pain in the ass to put it nicely

[tribal gazelle]

i got s presidential scholatship

[royal coyote]

damn

how u get that

[tribal gazelle]

3k per year

[royal coyote]

bruh

[low igloo]

you got 3k a year? 😂

[royal coyote]

presidential and it only gives 3k

[tribal gazelle]

i think u auto apply for it

based on stats

[low igloo]

i got 1k

[royal coyote]

i thought itd give like a shit ton

[tribal gazelle]

yeah…

[tribal gazelle]

oof

[royal coyote]

0 info

[tribal gazelle]

i think i heard oos ppl get more money

[royal coyote]

nv

nvm

i had to click the button

whoops

[low igloo]

thats usually how it is

[royal coyote]

fuck oos

if ur not a new yorker ur a nobody !

[next lodge]

still got nothing from stony yet

[tribal gazelle]

fafsa and tap better clutch up

[low igloo]

so true homie

[tribal gazelle]

the wait continues

[royal coyote]

wait

this is cracked?

national merit is from PSAT right

[tribal gazelle]

i think

[royal coyote]

i got a 223 on the index so im pretty sure im gonna qualify

the results come out soon

[low igloo]

i didnt even take the psat lol

woops

[royal coyote]

i got 1490 but i maxed english so it carried my qualification score

since english is weighed double

(no idea why)

[low igloo]

dawg with that you can get more than 3k a year

[grizzled lance]

oh yea cuz they count reading and writing

[royal coyote]

fireee

SBU is the #1 safety atp

just need to write a w honor essay

and then we're set ..

[low igloo]

you should apply to like

their other scholarships not just waiting on the scholarships you get with admission

[grizzled lance]

apply to cunys and macaulay

[next lodge]

not if youre doing cs

[royal coyote]

what do i put for this

off campus or with family

[royal coyote]

fr

[royal coyote]

fr (2)

[grizzled lance]

with fam

[low igloo]

https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/finaid/scholarships/MeritAwards.php?accordion=content-d19e235

[royal coyote]

national merit, honors, presidential, and maybe ESD

are the ones ill prolly go for

idk about ESD sounds like i have to yap a lot for that

[low igloo]

Scroll down

and ya u have to yap a lot

but the yapping works

[royal coyote]

hmm

residents scholarships sound good

and all of these department ones sound like a hassle...

sigh

[low igloo]

it will be a hassle

[royal coyote]

all for da safety....

do i apply for them after i get in at least

or commit

[low igloo]

but if it makes you feel any better, a lot of essays can be copy-pasted for other scholarships

[low igloo]

No, they have their own deadlines

[royal coyote]

oh my god

hopefully columbia ed will take me............... 0.00000000000001 %

[low igloo]

you have to look at each scholarship and their deadline. SBU has scholarshipuniverse to help with that

[tribal gazelle]

i got rejected columbia ed lmfao

my supps were horrible

[low igloo]

my supplemental essays for the oos schools i applied to were so dog water loool

[tribal gazelle]

it is what it is

[low igloo]

i am not surprised i got deferred from purdue and uw but in some way i am glad i dont have to care about schools i cannot afford

[wicked salmon]

good luckk

[royal coyote]

its whatever i dont engage in activism or whatever

[wicked salmon]

i love the school but jfc

oh yeah

[royal coyote]

im not tryna get locked up by the columbia police

[wicked salmon]

also the core curriculum 🤣

it sounds cool when u read ab it

[royal coyote]

(also known as the senate investigatory committee and/or federal authorities)

oh

yeah the core....

[wicked salmon]

but when u really think about it

its like a second major

[royal coyote]

idk i honestly fw it

[wicked salmon]

so exhausting

me too

[royal coyote]

its like school+

[wicked salmon]

i loved all the courses

for my why us i mainly talked ab the core

it was so intriguing

[royal coyote]

ohhhhhhhhhh shit

is bro getting in??

[wicked salmon]

then i talked to current students

[royal coyote]

seas or cc

[wicked salmon]

and they said they hatwed it

cc

[royal coyote]

ah id go for seas

[wicked salmon]

i am rly bad at math so i prob would suck at engineering

oh

cs?

[royal coyote]

less of a core there i heard

cs or eng

im on the fence

[wicked salmon]

oh

[royal coyote]

my profile is built CS

but im having doubts

[wicked salmon]

maybe apply for eng

idk which ones more competitive

[royal coyote]

apparently u decide later

cs is definitely more competitive

[wicked salmon]

oh rly

[royal coyote]

1000000%

stony might be 36k idk

im visiting stony campus saturday but i loved the bing campus/vibe

heard not to many great things ab social aspect at sbu

so like with a 6-8k diff i might choose bing bc of the edge in price and general college life

• decent engineering program for northeast so might asw

jhu 3pm tomorrow though so might not go to either hopefully

prolly gonna cope though

[modern junco]

I visited stony brook on a sunday a few weeks ago

Little jarring that I was able to walk in buildings with classes with no id or security whatsoever but it was a fun experience

[hollow geyser]

at all public uni, u can do this

[steady crow]

Not really

But pretty normal

[hollow geyser]

which one, i can't?

[vestal merlin]

Wait do u guys know what the Bing acceptance rate was this year?

[next lodge]

waitlisted from bing

lmfao

and i got deferred like two months ago

great

[low igloo]

how did I get rejected

??? what was the thought process behind that

[hollow geyser]

they ran out of spots is one possible reason

[low igloo]

i got accepted to stony and i got merit scholarships from buffalo…

[hollow geyser]

did those happen in march?

[low igloo]

No

I applied EA for all during the free week

i got my acceptances and merit scholarships letters like a long time ago

[hollow geyser]

it's ok, bing ain't worth ur time anyways

[low igloo]

yeah i’m not very hurt by this. just confused

[tribal gazelle]

me omw to go to stony after looking at my results on mar 28

[next lodge]

there was a record amount of apps this year

especially in ea

[royal coyote]

Honestly a win

Stony>>>Bing

Did results come out today

Happy for all the Stony kids !!!!

[low igloo]

Tbf unless one takes numerical rankings to heart, it really depends on how a program works for individuals. But, for me, stony over bing any day lol.

[left mauve]

As either someone who wants to be a faang shill or do a phd, stony all the way

[royal coyote]

YESSIRRRR

My boys

Stony gang!

[low igloo]

buffalo > stony

[royal coyote]

Crazy

Who going to buffalo

[next lodge]

i might go

it depends on if stevens gives me good aid

[low igloo]

if i dont get another $5000 in scholarships then i will go to buffalo

[royal coyote]

Wow

[low igloo]

$30k/yr would make it feasible for me to go to ohio state

[lethal jolt]

stony is really nice because its near nyc

[royal coyote]

Literally me

[lethal jolt]

and its in a very urban area

[royal coyote]

I don’t wanna move

[low igloo]

its literally in the middle of a suburban neighborhood

and a parkway

[lethal jolt]

i’m gonna be honest i live like across the country from long island

but it looks like super close to nyc 😭😭

I ASSUMED ITS IN AN UBRAN AREA??

[low igloo]

its like over an hour away

[royal coyote]

2 hrs by train

By the train is right on campus

I was talking to stony guys who came to my schools college fair

Apparently there’s a good chunk who commute

[low igloo]

yeah but that just sounds like an awful commute

[royal coyote]

How do

so*

[low igloo]

you're going to be on a train for 4 hours of your day

and that sounds even worse if you're driving instead

[royal coyote]

Excellent time for studying and or hw

They have tables

[low igloo]

its a preference thing i guess

personally that is not for me

[royal coyote]

To each their own

[left mauve]

I just find it wild that people choose stony brook oks

Oos

Like, everyone I know goes because it is DIRT CHEAP for the quality (stem)

[lethal jolt]

for me its the cheapest option

its like 30k a year for me

[left mauve]

Yeah, pretty much the same

If i dont dorm it would be even less

[low igloo]

yea the only reason i would go to buffalo is because it would be cheap

if money wasn’t a problem i would have applied to private school lol

[next lodge]

im fine with going to buffalo it’s just kind of far for me

[royal coyote]

sameeee

[wicked salmon]

Is bing out

[vocal hedge]

damn

SBU gave me a shirt

[stark sonnet]

bro sbu didn't even give me a decision

[hollow geyser]

And the shirt they have for y’all this year was so much better than ours last year

[tribal gazelle]

sbu gave yall merch??

they didnt give us anything for us instate ppl

[stark sonnet]

wait instate no shirt?

[tribal gazelle]

apparently? i think

there was a comvo here

[stark sonnet]

[tribal gazelle]

or beg for it for free lmao

[stark sonnet]

[tribal gazelle]

[stark sonnet]

shirt*

[wicked salmon]

i ate it

[stark sonnet]

t

[still ridge]

[tribal gazelle]

[still ridge]

most lackluster admissions packet out of a dozen schools

[wicked salmon]

this is so cute tbh

none of my sunys gave me anything

ffs baruch was the only one that gave me stickers lmfao

[grizzled lance]

bing and stony gave cute little stickers

[wicked salmon]

sorry do u want it back

[tribal gazelle]

yes

[still ridge]

idk maybe i’m spoiled by state schools bc penn state and illinois sent me tons of stickers

i love the purple and pink tho

[wraith wave]

bing sent me a whole sticker sheet

[lethal jolt]

my shirt is so comfy

[wicked salmon]

can i see the shirt

[lethal jolt]

just kidding its a glidan blank

[wicked salmon]

why didnt i get free stuff im so sad..

[lethal jolt]

where do u live

[wicked salmon]

i wanted a hoodie man 😭

nyc

IM LTR IN STATE

LIKE WHAT THE FUCK

GIVE ME STUFF

[lethal jolt]

also u need to put it in the portal w ur size btw...

[tribal gazelle]

[lethal jolt]

yea

[tribal gazelle]

bc i didnt

i never had that

[tribal gazelle]

cjaiscjasnkajc i want shirt

[lethal jolt]

[tribal gazelle]

bruh

[wicked salmon]

sbu once again doing their in state dirty lmfao

[lethal jolt]

i cannot see myself going to sbu

from all the pics the campus looks plasticy

or hospital like

[wicked salmon]

its a very pretty campus imo

but ur right

[lethal jolt]

fr??

[wicked salmon]

kinda gives hospital vibes lmfao

[tribal gazelle]

60s architechture moment

[wicked salmon]

also the social life is give or take

idk ab school spirit but from what ive seen theres a lot

[tribal gazelle]

social life is not what reddit says apparently

so its better unless u dont talk to ppl

but if u dont talk to ppl

u wont have a social lfie anywhere

[steady crow]

There was a thing in portal a couple days after acceptance that said I had to enter my shirt size by Dec 25 to get one

[tribal gazelle]

i feel like i never had one

[spark oriole]

might be for those that got the scholarship then?

[lethal jolt]

what scholarship

[spark oriole]

i think it was presidential

the one that came in the letter of admission

[tribal gazelle]

i got that as well

stony owes me a shirt

[lethal jolt]

u can have mine

[outer shard]

yeah when am i getting my shirt ⁉️⁉️

i put in my size and everything

[outer shard]

never mind guys i got it today :3

[tribal gazelle]

bro thry didnt even give me an option😭

[tribal gazelle]

pls gib

[royal coyote]

Going to Stony w my school

April 8th I think

Is there anything or place in particular I should check out

[spark oriole]

depends on major

i toured during the severe rainstorm this saturday unfortunately

nice campus though

[royal coyote]

engineering/cs

[royal coyote]

ripppp

[spark oriole]

i mainly went through the engineering building and then drove around campus

[royal coyote]

yeah its pretty close to me via LIRR so i dont have a need to see everything

[spark oriole]

entire surrounding area feels like one big mall/when you're on the highway and theres just a whole lot of stores

the only lab they had for mechanical engineering students was the 3d printing room

dude inside was chill and explained everything but there wasnt much to explain so the lab was just like 4-5 mins of walking around 3rd printers

theres options for other majors as well i think

the presentation was the longest thing

[royal coyote]

fr

[spark oriole]

honestly campus was decent but i liked the surrounding area/nature/social aspect at bing more so im going to choose that school

[royal coyote]

really?

[spark oriole]

yes

also based on my sai itll cost like 6k less which isnt crazy but its an added incentive to go

• scholarship at both but still bing would cost less

[royal coyote]

low key im thinking about bing cause of the columbia combined plan

[spark oriole]

not by a lot but im alr interested in bing

[royal coyote]

(im a columbia fan boy)

[spark oriole]

lol

honestly

ill def find a job regardless of whether i choose sbu or bing

atp im just going based off what i myself want to go to

[hollow geyser]

Ur gonna have to be the opposite of ur name

[spark oriole]

wdym

[royal coyote]

LOL

bing kids...............

i heard bing was worse for stem stuff

[hollow geyser]

Tried to make a joke about normal guess it didn’t work

Need to work on my jokes 😭

[spark oriole]

nah i understood that

but like

why specifically lol

[royal coyote]

no leon it was a good joke. i got it.

keep it up man.

👍

[hollow geyser]

I guess a normal person can get a good job regardless of college 🤷‍♂️

50/50 about that

[royal coyote]

oh i didnt get the joke

i thought u were making fun of bing kids

[spark oriole]

its worse compared to sbu but i dont think its a bad stem program

[hollow geyser]

No I don’t make fun of kids for not getting good jobs

[spark oriole]

but obv sbu beats it

[royal coyote]

bing is also like

in the middle of no where...

[hollow geyser]

This is what I didn’t like about bing

[spark oriole]

kind of but i like the aspect of going on hikes/nature etc

[royal coyote]

fr

[spark oriole]

also as for being close to home both are similar drives for me but i def enjoyed my drive back home from bing compared to long island

have so much family in LI and driving back and forth is hell

[royal coyote]

stony is my safety cause my #1 and #2 are in the city and stony is nearby

im not tryna leave nyc lol

[spark oriole]

another reason why i dont like sbu lol

too many commuter kids

i heard social life is meh bc of it

[royal coyote]

yea the guy at my college fair from stony said that too

u prolly have to go out of ur way n stuff

but i like commuting

[hollow geyser]

Most of nyc kids commute anyways

That’s what I would of done

[spark oriole]

yeah if rutgers didnt screw me with honors college i wouldve taken that but now im choosing an oos option

[royal coyote]

fr

why waste money

[spark oriole]

my dignity is making me not choose penn state but they also gave me zero aid so my other options are vtech bing and sbu

[hollow geyser]

Rutgers would of been a diff story

[royal coyote]

low key im not tryna go out of state for a meh college u feel me

they just charge more

[royal coyote]

meh = completely subjective btw

[spark oriole]

honestly im still trynna attempt to transfer to a better school so ill choose the cheapest option

[royal coyote]

what have u gotten into so far

oh nvm

penn state vtech bing and sbu

[spark oriole]

i shotgunned but my best options rn are rutgers, penn state, vtech, binghamton, sbu, and osu

[hollow geyser]

Was about to say btech? 😂

[royal coyote]

osu is good no???

[spark oriole]

bing sbu and rutgers are my cheapest options

[royal coyote]

LOL

[spark oriole]

osu gave no aid

[royal coyote]

brooklyn tech..................

👎

fake specialized.

[spark oriole]

penn state, osu, and vtech gave nothing scholarship wise except penn state giving me 5k

[hollow geyser]

Don’t down on my school like that 😭

[spark oriole]

but like that doesnt make a dent to penn state tuition

[royal coyote]

damn u brooklyn tech

[spark oriole]

baruch 💯

[royal coyote]

u baruch????

[spark oriole]

no lol

[royal coyote]

oh

[spark oriole]

i live in nj

[royal coyote]

LOL

[spark oriole]

my dad was an assistant professor in baruch though 😭

[hollow geyser]

Sbu or bing clears

[spark oriole]

told me not to apply

[royal coyote]

yea

[hollow geyser]

Esp considering price

[royal coyote]

if ur gonna do cuny do ccny

but cuny is .......................

[spark oriole]

not even thinkin ab cuny

[royal coyote]

fr

[spark oriole]

atp id grind out for nyu and put myself in debt

[royal coyote]

my hs is already at ccny im not tryna do another 4 years

hellhole .

[spark oriole]

yeah its my top options atm

price for education wise

[hollow geyser]

Uh… 80k debt that gonna pile up

[royal coyote]

low key

its worth it

[spark oriole]

rutgers costs a similar amount but if im paying similar tuition compared to oos schools id rather choose a oos school for a new experience

[royal coyote]

my strat is ED columbia, ED2 nyu (if rejected), RD rest

[spark oriole]

not trynna have high school 2.0

[royal coyote]

NYU is fire fr

[hollow geyser]

Unless it’s stern, I don’t know if ~300k is worth it

[royal coyote]

it definitely is!!!!!!!!

every1 knows nyu

prestige is everything man.

[spark oriole]

got waitlisted for stern as an engineering major lol

only school i applied to finance for

[hollow geyser]

Sbu cs or eng is prob better than nyu cs or eng

[royal coyote]

really?

[spark oriole]

yeah fs

[hollow geyser]

Yea

[royal coyote]

bruh actually

thats wild

[spark oriole]

honestly i just want ivy day to happen so i can commit to bing or sbu

my parents want me to wait

[royal coyote]

idk i feel like im gonna get rejected from everything and then just go to SBU next year

[spark oriole]

ik im notmaking it in

[royal coyote]

if u think ur not gonna make it

u wont

so u gotta believe

[spark oriole]

idk i got destroyed by purdue engineering so im not too confident

[royal coyote]

yield protected prolly .

[spark oriole]

to add salt to the wound they admitted me for finance as my 2nd choice

was heated

couldve applied to IU bloomington atp

[royal coyote]

yield protection bro its normal

what ivies u applied to

[spark oriole]

princeton(unrealistic but i live 5 mins away), harvard, yale, upenn, and cornell

[royal coyote]

no columbia?!?!?!?

[spark oriole]

nah

[royal coyote]

fake........

if u gonna do suny u gotta apply columbia.

[spark oriole]

eh didnt feel like it

i want yale or upenn so bad but then unrealistic

going to attempt to transfer 2nd year

attempt

[royal coyote]

fr

[hollow geyser]

Every stem kid always has Cornell on their list lol

[spark oriole]

almost ed'd

chose jhu instead and got deferred then rejected

[tribal gazelle]

what makes u say that

i need to cope

[hollow geyser]

Visiting the department for both schools and some of their profs. As well as placements from ppl ik or talked to. It’s subjective ig

[torpid lance]

did yall get a thing for bing FRI/scholars?

[unreal oyster]

They sent me a folder with a letter for FRI

[tribal gazelle]

ok so i searched thru the mail

and found stickers from stony

thats it

[stark sonnet]

yall want the stony shirt

I want the stony decision

fr

[royal coyote]

Fr

[quiet pewter]
