Any current UB presidential scholars here? Needed some advice abt essays and interview
is that the full ride one
I'm just going to write some bullshit tbh cuz it's super selective
I'm definitely not getting it 
It's the 20k one for OOS students (15k for in state). The one that's for incoming freshmen honors students
Were you able to get a full ride?
I was completely unaware abt it till they sent me an email yesterday..idk what I'm going to write
How do you apply?
If you applied for honors and got accepted, you should have the option to apply on your application portal
Haven’t received my aid package yet but if I stay home 0 dollars and if I live in campus 6k per year
According to calc
My SAI is -1500 btw
Not including gscholarships
I got the 5k per year one so theoretically it should be 1k per year to live on campus
Ohh makes sense..although idk if I'd solely rely on calculators as it def didn't match my case for NEU
ME TOO
i got acepted awhile ago but i dont see anything about scholarship or even finaid
Sed
If you got any of the automatic consideration ones they'll be in ur acceptance letter
I got Pride of NY and it was in my letter
is stonybrook supposed to come out fri if we haven't gotten a decision yet
i think yeah
Probably
Mine is like that as well, I'm assuming it'll turn to decision available or something like that tomorrow
not everyone’s out
got into sbu w/ presidential
Im still on awaiting decision what
Got into stony brook
was it in ur letter
Congrats
yes
how much aid?
11k/yr
are you in state oos or intl
oos
i got 1k a year 😭
Damn
I never see in state people getting anything from stony or bing
instate or oos?
Scammers fr
cuz your tution is low to begin with
I guess
Stony housing is a lot tho
Cause it's in long island
It's like 15k or 20k i think
Per yr
even after presidential and federal grant my coa will be more than instate coa without aid
Rip
11k
which is better..stony or bing?
kk
Depends on major but for STEM i think Stony is better overall
For CS engineering and pre med atleast
got into sbu engineering with 13k presidential scholarship. oos, 3.34/3.66, 1550, decent ecs, nmsc semifinalist
nicee
I got into SBU biology with 4.0uw/1500 sat mid ecs in state
W
got rejected
has anyone not gotten their stonybrook decision yet??
did u guys get an email that your decision was posted?
bruh mine hasn't come out yet
what stats
1530 86gpa
no i just looked at 7am and it was thwre
The night before it said my decision was made but i wasn't able to look at it
i did research and won an international award
how is sbu still considering my decision 😩
and orchestra
i think it lost my app
Did u apply cs perchance
nah bro 😭
One of the two
also i'm taking multivariable+differential eq this year
stony brook trollijg
bruh mine still says waiting 😭 i lit applied the first week of october
what major r u?
psychology
thats so weird-ik people who submitted the day before and they got their decision like a month ago...
bro i got into bing too
are you in state or oos
honestly pretty bad
it might've been those tbh
like mostly 80's
Yeah that's probably why
You prob wyll do better at non suny tho
didn't think they were relevant
Only SUNYs care
I only had 2 80s
85 ela 87 ush
Prob the gpa + regents scores
i should've retaken them bru 😭
Rip
idk
I've never bothered retaking them
these were mine
+87 on USH
I'm a stem major and got 740 on SAT rw so that prob made up for the ELA
EE is prob more competitive then bio tho
true
i wish they considered me for other majors
also W computer science
is the ap test difficult?
i'm taking it this spring
Not really
I crammed 2 days before
It was easier then our practice last year
We also did a lot of FRQ and AP classroom MCQ stuff throughout the year tho
My teacher didn't teach so he just threw that stuff at us 😭😭
same bro 😭
i don't even know why i need to show up
like i just study for other classes
I do this in health
Grinding calc BC hw in health
the class is being done through project stem which has its own curriculum with videos and assignments
so i just watch the videos
on god
i should've taken bc this year
would've been interesting
i've never taken a ap math
only dual enrollment
oh wait
im blind
i got a presidential scholarship
3k/yr for a total of 12k
@gleaming wave is that what you got
me too
it might be different for everyone
im from MA
cool
good use of tax dollars 
😭
oh yeah
my friend from long island told me
They ran out of time
reviewing EA
so everyone they didnt get to
Got pushed to RD
so like UT?
~ every year
lol
How do they know this?
no idea he just told me
so... he's just guessing?
Maybe i asked him
I mean it woudl make sense
Remember they already had to split us
Released half in dec
And half now
wouldn't they say "hey we got too many apps sorry we're deferring you" instead of not even saying deferall wtf
did you get deferred
I guess
wat does it say
the updated to regular decision
My portal still says early action, but I still haven't gotten a decision from SBU. Have I gotten deferred?
probably or theyre staggering
Not to be entitled (of course no one gets to deserve an acceptance to any institution) but are the deferrals just an issue of having too many applications because I thought my stats would be good enough to get me into stony and I sorta need this acceptance largely for cost
Part of my stats without saying anything identifying: Fixing issues breaking Google & other companys' projects, maintaining a 4.0 UW with a 1540 SAT
You might hvae just gotten yield protected
Write a LOCI and see what happens
Idk if stony brook does this but other schools like to defer/waitlist/reject overqualified applicants because they won't go anyway
I had 4.0/1500 and mid ecs
Also CS is like 10% acceptance rate
Did you apply to CS?
Hardest thing to get into at SBU ^
Yield protection is a myth
Especially for Stony with a 16.8% yield
Yeah, I'll probably do that if I get bad news
im assuming ur in state
what were your regent scores like
and what major
if CS i can see why you got deferred its 10% acc rate
For the EA round my application wasn't that good so I especially doubt it (accidentally put too much other stuff instead of focusing on different parts of my CS stuff)
CS
yeah this is probably why
CS is the hardest major to get into
Can you upload a resume or sm
To the portal
That could help you out
Did
Ok now just LOCI and pray
All 85+
these are what mine looked like
10% for CS?
note im a bio major and idrk how competitive that is
something like that yeah
stony brook is #24 on csrankings so its expected
Computer Science Rankings
researched focused rankings ^^
It isn't released publicly, but from what I've heard it should be closer to the typical ~49% at ~20-40%
Also, it's not that my application was absolutely garbage looking at other applications I still think it's definitely quite decent
Where do you see the "updated to regular decision"? I still just see Early Action on mine
Regent scores don’t matter that much for admission
i got into stony and bing 😄
any updates?
bro im still stuck in early action awaiting decision
im gonna crash out
its supposed to come out in 30 mins..
did u submit everything?
yeah 😭
they had to waive one of my transcripts because it was a weird system glitch and i emailed teh admissions counselor but that was resolved fairly quick not late
im suprised i even got in
mid gpa
dropped to an 89 sophomore year and had a 73 regents score
😭bruh
i honeslty applied jus to see if i'd get scholarships
and it was free
but like why r they crashing out on me
My scholarship is 4k 😭
i have no income
too
fgli
over the course of 4 years so 1k/year
gave me pennies
LMAO bruh what
not even annual
i think i qualify for the presidential scholarship gpa wise
but that's if i get in first cause wtf is this 💀
it's officially february w no decision :p
damn yalldidnt get yall decisions?
wait do sunys actually llook at your regent scores?
Ya
Oh I’m cooked 😭
Guys idk if this is just coincidence or something actually got affected, but I was concerned by the result coming out so I sent a message asking about it and got back my acceptance in under an hour :D
Did it via the little portal not email
@whole berry @silk flower
for stonybrook?
Yeah
wait did u get that weird msg yesterday for the deferral thats not rly a defferal
Previous msg for additional clarification to anyone who doesn't click on replies:
Not to be entitled (of course no one gets to deserve an acceptance to any institution) but are the deferrals just an issue of having too many applications because I thought my stats would be good enough to get me into stony and I sorta need this acceptance largely for cost
Part of my stats without saying anything identifying: Fixing issues breaking Google & other companys' projects, maintaining a 4.0 UW with a 1540 SAT
Nope
It didn't even change to regular decision
It just stayed static as "Early Action"
but u didn't get a decision yesterday?
Then I sent a message on the portal and less than an hour later got the result
Nope got it today after sending the message
Might just be coincidence though
mine still says early action-but i got that weird email last night
ig i'll just wait
If you got the email you're probably actually deferred
I didn't get any email
oh kk
what was the result
Accepted CS
Oh nice
Are you gonna go
I guess tjey just forgot to release your decision lmfao
Not if I get into smth better
Still good back up tho
How did you know about the acc rate
its just speculated
i dont remember if they actually release anythign
they probably did at some point
My friend still hasn’t got her decision from stony yet, is it just late or something else?
#1291440623907508266 message
@silk flower
imo Inaccurate speculation best estimate's 20-40%
How about for biology?
She already did that but got nothing
Oh I emailed them lemme check my portal rn
lol I'm still awaiting decision. I think it might be because they had to waive one of my checklist items and it was after I'd submitted but def not so late it would push me back to regular
Nice which one & per year or over 4 years?
Per year 6k four year 24k
in state?
Oos
public schools don’t really give financial aid
bro i thought u have an onlyfan account tf

💀
xd
bro got baited fr
did anyone get into the honors college
for which school
did you actually get in or is that just an informatory email
cause im prety sure they do the honors college decisions like after RD
idk
i just got the email
i did EA & got accepeted dec 13 / first batch
so lwky plenty of time to review
they said they need an offer of acceptance which i got, most applicants get it March bc well RD
like it’s the actual email and everything
oh yeah welcome
i got in 2nd batch
i also only applied for uni scholars
i didnt apply for honors college
Where
mines still like this
might just be one that’s out
did anyone do the sbu eop verification ? if so do i have to sign into solar?
also did you have to change your password after logging into solar
did you guys submit an essay for binghamton eop 😭
what even is eop
low income
u cann get into a SUNY colleges with a lower grade than it excepted.
🤟
mfw i haven’t even received ea decisions
chat email
chat there’s nothing
chat i said email admissions if you applied EA & no decisions
💀💀
Meanwhile I get nothing
did anyone get fri or scholars program emails yet from bing
im paying 1438/yr if i wanna go debt free
20k an year for bing as instate is too much right 🧐
are u near there
No
i got my bing aid too
12k/yr excluding loans and work study
i can go to bufalo for 1400 living on campus 😭
at least u guys didn’t get deferred
it means you’re going to pay about $4,258 after loans
Bing a scam bro
I can go to UB for 1.4k a year on campus with 0 loan
Binghamton is 12k
😭😭
well ur dorming there
I’m dorming at both lol
I did living on campus for every school I applied to including UB
What so by simply living so close to the school your housing and stuff is way cheaper?
I’d assume they just calculated his aid differently
tbf binghamton is probably the most well-known of the SUNY colleges so its probably just reflective of that
rlly i thought itd be sbu
stony brook didnt really exist in its current state until the 1990s/2000s
i had never even heard of it before joining this server ngl
intresting i mean w that big donation that has to change
and the enginnering dean from princeton going to sbu
Thoguht that was SBU
hopefully sbu aid is better 😭
out of the sunys i applied to i'd much prefer to go to SBU
but i doubt itll be as cheap as UB
How are both your UB and bing so cheap 😔 
What makes your board/meal and room super low if you’re living on campus?
hmmmhmmm SBU is famous on STEM
-1500 SAI
bing
UB (Total cost is 21678 before any aid)
WHEN SBU AID COME OUT
it should come w ur admission letter
i got in EA and havent received it
Wheres that? In the bottom of mine is just scholarship
it just shows our scholarship amont
it doesnt show how much we're paying
with fafsa aid and stuff
did anyone who applied to SBU EA get their fin aid alr?
i havnet
im from the second round of EA
How did you see this cuz I got nothing back from them yet
Sbu sent out fin aid today
Whats ur cost/year
for sbu like 14k/yr before loans
Ooo all ur packages are solid. Mines 19k and its the cheapest so far
when is sbu rd coming out 🥲
end of march they say
alr, ty ^^
buffalo comes out rolling iirc
oh wait just some of em
now that its march it shouldnt be more than a week or two i think
Does anyone know if you can get accepted from waitlist for SBU
And how does it work like is there a line
I got accepted to sbu
Congrats!
I got into Uni scholars at SBU

applied rd for both sbu and bing and got in
its rolling ig
damn im cooked i only got 6k
from sbu?
I like the school but I heard its a commuter school (sbu)
ngl SUNYs are appealing for me as intl cuz of the price tag
what were your stats btw
if u r fine sharing
I can dm
alr
when did u get ur decisions?
29th Jan
i also got it early feb 28
the day i asked this is when i get rejected from bing 😞
Same 😞 I was wondering if they send out accepted /waitlisted/ rejected by groups on diff dates
did u get ur decision today?
instate?
yup
im not exactly sure im guessing on random dates
it is random yeah
same with bing cuz me and my gf got our decisions different dates lol
Idk if this is a coincidence but I know 2 people that got their decisions early in March and got waitlisted
😨😨😨
i think it was the waitlisted bunch cuz 2 ppl ik as well got wait listed 😭
Oh no 😭
is bing ur top choice?
sb is
tho i heard some people also getting accepted
same
good luck for sb
Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for sb cs?
ty 🙏
idk but i heard it’s really competitive
Yea ik I think I’m cooked
even the ppl at sbu said it themselves when i went to their tours
Oh really 😭
What’s bme?
biomed engineering
Ohhh
What did you think of the campus when you toured there
the outside was pretty meh but the inside of their buildings were really nice
i really liked the library and their dorms
Have you checked out their cs building?
no they didnt show us any specific departments
Ah ok
Stony brook deferred and then waitlisted my gf and then Binghamton accepted her.. make it make sense bruh
yeah idk
right its so weird
major?
Biochem
I thought SBU has less acceptance rate for stem major
compared to what
Binghamton

guys city college or university at buffalo for CE?
UB
hey have you heard back from sbu yet?
nope they said endof march or april1
damn i lowkey been impatient since a lot of my other friends have already heard back 😭
really? im asking for a friend and hes worried about the financial aid
oh how did it go for them?
mostly waitlisted
i heard it’s pretty high but i could be wrong
yea that’s what i heard too
did you apply for sbu eop?
no but my gf did
i was thinking ill get my decision late since i applied for eop
she got accepted for academics but she hasnt heard back for financial
ohh nice
yea we’re just hoping everything goes well for sbu since it’s our dream 🙏
HEY SAME
me and my friend really want to go togethert
we literally have a whole thing planned out if we get in tgethjer
it’s such a good opportunity but sbu has gotten so selective 🥲
i could ask my friend abt it
your friend goes to city college?
he takes aeronautic engineering
yep
ohh nicee
also, did he get into SBU?
please do !
SBU eng is better then UB i think?
nah but he was lazy with his app
most likely
we dont know yet but he was asking if he should go to city college or ub if he gets rejected from sbu
wait what program do you want me to ask about
computer engineering
alright gotchu
thank you!
wait did sbu rd not alr come out?
nope..
some did and some didnt
you got in?
i didnt know waiting for rds could be this dreadful 💔
yea same
i wouldve done ea but i was retaking my sat like crazy
took 3 times and didnt even get a good score
bro are you my long lost twin bc im in the same situations
applied rd so i can retake sat just to go test optional 
oh sh gl
it’s so rough cuz im not a good test taker 🥲
i wouldve done it again if i had the chance but sbu doesn’t take late sat scores so
i was thinknig about this too...
idk if i can say im just a bad test taker or im just stupid
went test optional as a biomed engineering 🥲
i got a 1500 and i got in
like 1400ish?
i heard its 1300 ish
O
maybe 1350s
oh im way off the scale
honestly idk i just know it’s high and i didnt get that score
😭
same...
my grades arent even all that either cuz soph and junior year were ROUGH
i dont do that bad in most of my classes but its always 1 class that fck up everything
bio
congrats i heard that bio was competitive
i absolutely hate geoemtry
i did so bad on the regents
i think mine means waived? i hope...
yea but im hoping they overlook it cuz im in ap calc and im not doing too bad
currently rocking a 91 rn
i skipped ap precalc cuz i wanted to take calc so badly
i couldve tok precalc over the summer so i can take calc
it costs more then my other schools
oh damn
write that withdraw letter! (jk no pressure)
my friend that got waitlisted applied as bio
SAME??
oop
i heard rd was waitlist everywhere
my school let me skip straight from alg 2 honors to ap calc
same
but i took pre clac on the summer
i didnt
hows that going

polar was lowkey hard with sumer pre calc
do SUNYs not prioritise their instate students?
lucky. my cousnelor didnt tell us nothing bru
i think they do??
just genuinely asking cuz lot of state schools give a spot to their instate students
idk actually lol
yea like unc
idk anymore
40% in state like 3% oos
i have a 91 in ap calc right now
i have a 95 in bc rn
but it’s better than my ap bio grade 🥲
ab my school doesnt offer bc
o
unit 3 ap precalc is lowkey cookig me rn
i dont mess with trig stuff 😭
same omfg 😭
trig and geo can burn
idk that’s news to me
no literally
if we all make it to sb lets be friends
yess
like UT Austin has this thing that 90% of their class should be instate students
smthing like that
it’s probably in sbu’s common data set
they probably do accept more instate students
wait guys can you go to any cc and tranfer to sb bc ik sb accepts from suffolk cc or something
unit 8 was nice
unit 9 was NOT nice
youll know what i mean when u take calc 2
polar is NOT fun adn games
yea they have a program for suffolk cc
i hate graphs..
oh i see do you know if they accept from other cc idrk how cc tranfer works
you probably have to apply as a transfer im not sure tho
apply as transfer to cc?
from cc
oh ok
like if u got to cc u have to apply as a transfer from cc to sbu
i already got accpeted to cuny schools but theyre all 4yr so idk how thats gonna work like can i complete half and transfer or get my bachelors
bro i lowkeyy give up on cunys cuz my guidance counselor is sending my stuff late
so did i and still didnt get anything
Is financial aid package out?
For cuny?
I just got them today but only for Baruch and Brooklyn college
Like do they email you?
Yup
Ohh
I think I saw some of my packages thru cunyfirst, do u know how to read them??
I am just as lost 😭
I asked around i think i got the gist of it
im rejected from sbu
"I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission."
🥲
why don't they just say I am rejected
so did i, it’s okay 🫂
OMG NOOO
bro this is definitely not a coincidence
cuz my cousin also got rejected today 😭
it’s fine just redirection 🥲
I saw it said the decision will be out on 15th
I was desperated for SBU math
now im cooked
lets do gap year :Đ
honestly transferring sounds real nice rn..
they offered me to do their cc transfer program but idk
anyone apply to suny ithaca
so they offered everyone ig?
yep 😞
did anybody hear back from binghamton yet i applied rd fairly early n im lowk getting stressed cuz i j got rejected stony yesterday 😭 and i still haven’t heard back from them
yea i got rejected 🥲
can i ask for what major n stats?
im so stressed bro😭
biomed eng 3.5 gpa no sat 🤦♀️
took 7 aps tho
sometime last week i believe
me too idk if mine are bc I applied as EOP for both but I haven’t received anything yet
omg late 💀 but i got accepted to albany and stony brook a couple weeks ago!
period
got into maculay computer enginnering at CCNY!!
does albany send acceptance things i want more free stuff but i got my decision like in january
Congrats!
OMG CONGEATS
thank you
anyone apply to FIT… 😅😅
I was going to but I didn’t
lucky lucky
damn
soon
did you get in?
my app still under review bruh
wow
i love SUNY❤️
i badly need sbu
i was hearing ffrom a lot of people at my school that they got rejected 😭
cs
aka my ap bio class 😭
my friend got waitlisted as bio major
SBU has a good waitlist to accepted rate
i hope so
idk if i have a chance bc im eop eligible or imma get it late bc i think sbu already sent out their rejection letters on sunday
binghamton said i was eop eligible lmao
they have a certain grade range
😭😭😭
sbu need to stop trolling
my fault
eop* educational opporttunity program
assuming yes

they emailed me later that i needed to upload some documents AND write an essay but i didnt bother to do any and lowkey just procrastinated till they emailed me again saying i didnt need to do it anymore LOL

my mid year report was lowkey ass im scared 😭
so real
i woyldve failed ap bio but he passed me with a 65 ....
Senior year
we lost our energy

bro i genuinely didnt think senioritis would get to me but it did

same
like i want to do something, but i just feel so damn tired
everyday
i wanna go out
😭
i need march to go by faster
*my calc teacher wrote me a recommendation letter
but i still get so shit on his class
😭
bro i asked the wrong type of teachers for my letter rec
i frickin asked my spanish teacher
😭😭
😭
am i cooked....
nah
i mean if you have a good relationship with her then that still works
nut i got another letter rec from my cousnelor
only if he/she said something bad
i only known her for 2 months...
oh 😭😭
i mean it is rare that a person says something bad about u in a letter....
did you have any other options
only u r a bad person
i was desperate and college apps were due soon so i had to ask someone 😭
but i particpate a lot in her class so maybe that will balance out...
she/he may just write a common recommendation letter
at least don't hurt u


real 🥲
yeah i hope so
ap bio is rough like my highest was an 89 for my first quarter
currently rocking an 84 😭
ap bio is my easiest class lowkey it’s calc that’s killing me 😭
im doing better in calc
i have a 91
calc concept is not bad
🙏
i’m in bc and i skipped ab and my teacher isn’t bad but i only get it when i teach myself the material
i rather do 100 math questions over 1 bio test 💔
it is okay guys
bruh my school only offers ab
intergals ruined me
wait off topic but if you applied to sb did they send you the wrong shirt size
the best thing in my calc class is: Riemann sums my life
i put medium in the form and they sent me a large 😔
wait what they send you tshirts?
nah f these bring back derivatives
there was a form in the portal after they emailed saying my decision was out
cmon
and then a couple weeks later i got like this brown envelope in the mail with my shirt and a pamphlet thing
intergals actually messed me up i forgot how to do power rule for a good min during ap reviews
AND THEY FORGOT TO PUT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER
Riemann sum 💀
Integrals
Calc bc lol
Lmao they sent me a large too 💀
no lol i’m not gonna be a karen cause i didn’t get a physical letter but it would’ve been nice 😔
source my brother got the package too and his came with a letter
I better get a 5 on my calc ab/bc test
same but im also delusional
ik im so cooked for ap bio that i would be happy with just a 2 💀
Like why did I take the hardest math class lmao 💀😅
fr and on my senior year too
BRO SAME
series are crazy
she told us we’re not finishing the curriculum in time for the ap 🥲
😱😱😱
I got a 4 and it wasn’t too bad but if my teacher did more practice with frqs I know for a fact I would’ve gotten a 5 😭
ggs..
i have my series test tomorrow 😭😭
gg
She also left for a whole unit so we had no teacher for that unit
Exactly and I’m in a magnet program so we have to have full schedules

bro hes gonna make us study 2 weeks before the ap exam THATS NOT ENOUGH TIME
Series weren’t that hard for me actually, I had more trouble understanding derivatives tbh 😂
lowkey the washers and disk stuff was fun
my teacher said he always finish but when? the day before the fking ap exam? 💀
Frrr
My teacher told us that p-series and geometric should be first 😭
my bio teacher does that but i cant cover an entire unit in 1 day bro 😭
And then nth
Now we’re learning power series 😭
what SUNYs did you guys apply to
ub, sbu, bu, polytech
are you in state?
Literally it’s gonna be UMD or BU (if I get into BU)
i’m oos i only did albany and sbu but lowkey albany is my cheapest option out of all my acceptances so far 😭
sbu’s one of my most expensive options i think
UMD gave me no shit for financial aid 💀 but I’m in state and my parents can’t afford anything oos so I’m gonna have to go anyway
BUTTT if I get into BU they said they would consider pulling loans
They are super expensive 🫠
yes
cool cool
😔😔
sbu bing oneonata albany new paltz
sbu has the program i want and they’re close to my aunt on long island but i can’t afford it 
got rejected from sbu and bing lol so ima probs go to a cuny and yolo
idk if this is offensive im sorry in advance but i want to ask if you have withdrawn your app? to sbu
there’s no other schools you applied to that has it?
this is my back up plan if i dont get in either
i did apply to some but sbu would be convenient because of my aunt
the others are elsewhere
dw u dont need one ur gonna get in 
I did lol 🙏
thank you 😭
idk if iim gonna go to any sunys
