All SUNYs (2024-2025)

[silk flower]

but im having so many doubts

[orchid bronze]

i got into SBu but i think it costs more then urochester

[unique silo]

really??

[silk flower]

i was planning to go to ub as my backup but i would rather just go to cuny to save the money then transfer

[unique silo]

just hope for the best cuz at the end of the day that’s all you can do

[orchid bronze]

wait no its the same

almost the same

SBU is 14.5k

urocheste ris 16k

per year

before loans or work study

[unique silo]

damn uroch is a lot cheaper than i expected

[orchid bronze]

im also -1500 sai

so that might be why

[unique silo]

ohh alrr

[orchid bronze]

i can go to ub for 1.4k per year

staying home

[somber ivy]

omg wait i didn’t realize you’re the neuroscience person lol

[unique silo]

what cunys u applied too?

[silk flower]

city college, csi, hunter, baruch, brooklyn, queens

[unique silo]

we applied to basically the same ones lol

what’s csi

[silk flower]

college of staten island

[unique silo]

ohh

[silk flower]

most of the people at my school go to csi lol

[thin pivot]

where do u go, fort?

[silk flower]

hs?

[thin pivot]

ye

[silk flower]

no

[unique silo]

most ppl in my school just go to state schools unless ur the top 20

[thin pivot]

fdr

[silk flower]

im not about to doxx myseld sorry 😭 but i go to school in si

[thin pivot]

ah gotchu

sry for asking

[silk flower]

no worries

[unique silo]

which one are u considering the most if u dont mind me asking

[silk flower]

city college

i only want to go to city college but lowkey its far

[unique silo]

same, they got good engineering programs

[silk flower]

my exact thought

[unique silo]

yea that’s fair

i would be commuting with my gf but she is going to a diff school that isnt far

and she is more in tune with like

[silk flower]

samee

[unique silo]

the city life and how to travel on train so i wont be entirely lost

i also have a friend who goes to ccny so im pretty much chilling

[silk flower]

i use to travel on train a lot and know my way but ever since i moved to si i dont even take it snymore so i lost my sense of direction 😭

[unique silo]

i live in li so i dont get out much unless my gf wants to go out

[silk flower]

and i dont think si trains are connected to metro ...

[unique silo]

bless u bro i hope things work out for you in the end

[silk flower]

same to you

[thin pivot]

did your bing eop decision come out yet?

my fren also applied to eop sbu and bing and both decisions not out

[silk flower]

no which is why ive been stressing lately i havent gotten any news back from sbu or bing

[thin pivot]

they slow lol

[silk flower]

FR

i will still uploading some materials for sbu in early MARCH

[thin pivot]

especially now theyre saying they filled all the seats

crazy

[silk flower]

could they have worded this any different ? 😭 this is scarying me

[thin pivot]

yeah i think my friend has the same thing

been like that since beggining of feb i think

[silk flower]

like wdym one of our limited seats

[rose orbit]

Best cuny / suny schools for bio?

[silk flower]

hunter

[thin pivot]

i think sbu is overall good for stem

cant go wrong with them

[silk flower]

or csi they have good premed program

bro csi is like 100% ar but i heard their premed program is hella competitive

[rose orbit]

What’s Ar

[silk flower]

acceptance rate

[rose orbit]

Ohh

[thin pivot]

i think a lot of people go to csi to transfer to a better school

[rose orbit]

I didn’t apply there

[silk flower]

yes^

[thin pivot]

my friend went to csi for a year and got into nyu, bu

ended up going to bu cuz they gave generous aid

[silk flower]

wowww

thats nice

[thin pivot]

yeah its always nice to have options but cuny/suny isnt bad at all

especially baruch for finance/business

[silk flower]

my sister applied to baruch as operation management

what even is that

[thin pivot]

sounds dope maybe something on the line of ba

business management yk

[silk flower]

thats what im assuming

[thin pivot]

ye

[vocal sky]

BU trust

🫡

[coral lodge]

Has anyone taken the math placement test for SBU yet?

How does it work

[scarlet harness]

has anyone here applied to the honors programs at sbu and received a decision

[silk flower]

Nope

[unique silo]

did u apply rd?

[scarlet harness]

no i applied ea and already in honors college, im just tryna see if the other decisinos are out for my friend and to connect if i do commit lol

[unique silo]

ohh alr

[orchid bronze]

i applied for uni scholars and got in

a few weeks back

[weary notch]

Is it crazy that I'm still waiting for a sbu decision 😭

[sand sluice]

im still waiting for a bing one

[silk flower]

No cuz me too

And Bing

[silk flower]

Are you eop too?

[weary notch]

whats that

[silk flower]

Oh it’s for low income

[weary notch]

yeah I'm not that, also I applied EA

why the fuck am I not getting a decision in MARCH 💀

[scarlet harness]

deferred?

[silk flower]

wth maybe contact them or check their website again

[night frigate]

binghamton or buffalo?

for engineering

[silk flower]

UB

[silk flower]

Statistically UB has better engineering program than Bing

[night frigate]

I live further away from buffalo 😭

idk it's tough

[river minnow]

truth is for engineering ranking do not matter whatsoever lol

ik many from Bing who got jobs at pretty good companies: IBM (2 people; and Binghamton is where it started btw) Lockheed (4 people), Google (2), etc. and these are close friends who studied at the Watson school

But my UB friends basically ended up in the same jobs as Bing friends in terms of raw salary

talking mostly about comp engineering and MechE tho

[sand sluice]

where is my bing decision

[orchid bronze]

idk buti jus got this email

got into bing alr btw through ea

[silk flower]

fr

chat im doomed my family is not letting me go to sbu if iget accepted

[scarlet harness]

what why ☠️

[silk flower]

cuz we are too broke

and too far 😭

[scarlet harness]

how much aid did u grt

[silk flower]

wdym

[scarlet harness]

oh wait u didn't get accepted yet

i mean you'll never know, maybe they'll give u like 20k or smth

[silk flower]

idk if theyll let me go anywhere too far that requires dorming but im trying to convince them 😥

[scarlet harness]

bro im tryna convince mine to let me leave the country ☠️

😭

[silk flower]

thats tough

[sand sluice]

😭

im convinced they ahte me

[unique silo]

wouldnt eop give u aid?

[silk flower]

How not sure how much they give

[scarlet harness]

ive heard they are very generous with eop but im not sure

[night frigate]

just looked up the job outcomes for binghamton engineering and it's a very marginal difference so yeah that checks out

i think US news ranks binghamton so low cause watson doesn't have a civil engineering program

[silk flower]

Ohh interesting

[silk flower]

bro guys i got my eop binghamton result aka waitlisted

[fallow torrent]

nice

[silk flower]

🙏

has anyone get their SBU EOP RD decision yet?

[unique silo]

my gf hasnt either and she applied eop rd

[orchid bronze]

what even is eop

i got into all sunys but i didnt apply eop e ven tho im low income

[rose orbit]

And low grade

[silk flower]

ughh anytime now...

[fallow torrent]

I got in sbu rd no eoo

Eop

How does eop work tho for sunys

[silk flower]

It basically helps students who may not have had the highest grades in hs and is low income

For sbu eop students they have to attend a summer program at sbu

[fallow torrent]

What if u have high grades but low income

Ex. I have 4.0 uw but low income

Would i be eligible

[silk flower]

honestly idk about the grades but I had a 3.7

It depends on the school ig

[fallow torrent]

Then that means academic guidelines dont matter

[unique silo]

you still haven’t received a decision?

[silk flower]

NOPE

it’s either gonna come out today, tomorrow or after tomorrow

cuz they said before April 1

[unique silo]

i pray u get accepted 🙏

[vocal sky]

nah

low grade

ur gpa is too high

[silk flower]

Thank you 🙏

[silk flower]

is 3.7 considered low?

[vocal sky]

[scarlet harness]

sbu is money hungry

but if u go abroad its sm cheaper flmao

[silk flower]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

i was jsut looking at their FLY program

[scarlet harness]

if i went to stony i wouldve gone abroad at least once a year just to save money

[silk flower]

im interested in shanghai and korea but i dont speak the languages well 😭

[silk flower]

how does it save money?

[scarlet harness]

the cost of oing abroad is less than the cost u pay if u stay in sbu campus

i was at the admitted seawolf day session event thing today and they showed a chart during one of the sessions

[silk flower]

thats crazy

[orchid bronze]

Uni scholars

Didnt apply honors

[vocal sky]

Shanghai is pretty international

😯

[silk flower]

Yeee

[fallow torrent]

What languages can u speak

If so u can js go aboard to a nation where u can speak their language

[orchid bronze]

ya i got in ea

[vast marsh]

When do stony RD release

[silk flower]

I’m pretty sure they already did

Has it not for you?

[vast marsh]

I got deferred from ea

And the portal still shows up I am applying ea. it did not update

[unique silo]

you should probably email them 😭

[vast marsh]

Should I wait till April 1 or email them now

[unique silo]

how badly do u want the decision

[acoustic shell]

yooo

I called Stony earlier today

They said it’s gonna update this evening

not a set time though

I got deferred from EA too

[fallow torrent]

where yall committing to

[vast marsh]

Stony or Ubuffalo for engineering?

[fallow torrent]

sbu better

for engineering

[vast marsh]

Do the U.S. news ranking matters when getting a job?

[fallow torrent]

no

us news is so buns

idk why i even relied on that

[vast marsh]

Did you get your yet?

[orchid bronze]

what are the prices

[vast marsh]

15k for ubuffalo

Idk about stony yet

Still waiting

Should i go to a top 20 engineering school (osu) for 40k or a suny for 15k

[orchid bronze]

isnt SBU up there for eng?

[vast marsh]

UBuffalo is better in term of U.S. news rankings. Idk if it’s actually better than stony

Stony is well known for physics and they got a national laboratory

[fallow torrent]

sbu is ranked higher

sbu is 58

[fallow torrent]

can u or ur family afford it

[vast marsh]

Yeah ik. But in terms of the engineering rankings

Stony is 63, buffalo is 57

[silk flower]

i say ub

[vast marsh]

Stony is still not out yet

😭

[silk flower]

i think you should ocntact them

[vast marsh]

Yeah I will

[vocal sky]

[fallow torrent]

Do you guys know how undeclared major work at SBU? My major was updated to undeclared but I want to still apply to CS (the original major I applied for) but if I don’t get in the major idk what to do 😭

[vast marsh]

Yeah

What major

[acoustic shell]

CS

[vast marsh]

Are you going to commit to ub?

[vocal sky]

hard to get in

🤣i got in for Math major

they dont allow any transfer to cs

whatever i appealed

but if u have engineering major

transferring becomes easier

[silk flower]

yeah ik imma just hope i get in 😭

[unique silo]

i think u should consider a different major only cuz cs is hella competitive

and not bio either cuz it’s also really competitive at stony brook

[silk flower]

Yea ik im thinking about TSM as an alternative but that means I’ll have to take bio which I hate 😭

[wispy pike]

i live in buffalo too!!

[orchid bronze]

isnt baruch like all business

and nothing else

[silk flower]

yes like mostly

[silk flower]

there’s other stuff

They said 75% students major I. Business

I only Recommend if you want to major in business/finance/marketing

Anything of that sort

[fallow torrent]

ok

thanks

[vast marsh]

Here

[silk flower]

Can I show my financial aid package here?

[fallow torrent]

yea

[rose orbit]

Who’s committing to cuny

[silk flower]

Do you know what offered and accepted aid mean

It says 31k offered but 21k accepted does that mean I pay 10k then?

[fallow torrent]

Offered aid is like loans

Accepted aid is grants and scholarships

[silk flower]

Oh yea that gas loans added

Without loans in accepted

10k fall 2025 and 10k spring 2026

That adds up to the 21k accepted

[vocal sky]

hi

[vocal sky]

r u?

[fallow torrent]

Whats the total coa

[rose orbit]

Deciding. The free money to attend is appealing

[rose orbit]

Nope

[vocal sky]

cunys are nice to be say

tuition free

😎

[silk flower]

this is lowkey scaring me

[fallow torrent]

34258-23787.40

ur paying ~10k a yr

[silk flower]

ahh i knew it

it looked different on SOLAR

i was so confused

whats the top part mean?

[silk flower]

the direct and indirect part

[fallow torrent]

indirect is basically the textbooks u gonna buy

btw what major

[silk flower]

im eop they updated my major to undeclared

but i originally applied for CS

[unique silo]

if i get into ccny or hunter then i will be

[silk flower]

you havent gotten your results yet?

[unique silo]

nope cuz my guidance counselor sent my stuff late

🤦‍♀️

[silk flower]

is getting 23k aid from stony good leaving 10k to pay?

[unique silo]

are you paying for sbu?

or is your parents?

[silk flower]

my parent

[unique silo]

can they afford it?

[silk flower]

honestly im not sure but i think so

[unique silo]

i mean if they can afford it and ur going into ur intended major i think it’s worth it

[silk flower]

if i dont get into my intended major should i not go?

[unique silo]

there’s probably better options ngl

imo i wouldnt want to get roped into a major i would not be happy with

[silk flower]

oh my mom just said she can

[unique silo]

that’s amazing

i would just get the major thing situated and then it would be an amazing opportunity

[rose orbit]

which one do u like better?

[unique silo]

ccny

the campus is gorgeous besides the inside

it’s better for stem too i believe

[vocal sky]

cs major is hard to transfer

😰

[rose orbit]

is it good for bio? compared to hunter

[unique silo]

mm

i think it depends if u want to do pre med or not

if u want to do pre med then hunter is better i think

i would do more research on it tho

[rose orbit]

they both have pre health

im pre dental

[unique silo]

i think they are pretty equal then it’s all up to u really

[rose orbit]

mm

[silk flower]

do you know if eop is like aoi

heres what they said in the email

[vocal sky]

idk

[silk flower]

oh they said its like that

[vocal sky]

try ur best man, it requires a lot of effort

👍

[silk flower]

I will 🙏

[silk flower]

do i accept the sbu wolfie grant?

[vast marsh]

What other college are you thinking about going

[silk flower]

city college

[vast marsh]

I felt like stony is better

[silk flower]

yes this is my top choice haha

[fallow torrent]

Baruch better

[fallow torrent]

Yes

[silk flower]

nahh

they both good but baruch = business and city college = engineering

[fallow torrent]

Ccny is mainly medicine

Cause sophie davis

[silk flower]

oh really? i heard thy have great engineering program

[silk flower]

who

[fallow torrent]

Its a program at ccny

Med program

[fallow torrent]

U tryna be an engineer?

[silk flower]

not really

[fallow torrent]

Isnt that for hunter

[silk flower]

idk

i thought hunter was good for premed

[vocal sky]

nah

for hunter

[vocal sky]

@silk flower congrats

🫡

[silk flower]

Thanks

[fallow torrent]

[silk flower]

Thank you ❤️

[unique silo]

@silk flower CONGRATS BESTIE 🩷

[silk flower]

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH ❤️ ❤️

[fallow torrent]

Sbu better

[vocal sky]

sbu

[river minnow]

Bing if u want a real college experience SBU if u want to commute

[silk flower]

Do most sbu students commute

[silk flower]

do you guys know any where to find details for sbu's t shirt sizes

[river minnow]

Bing’s campus was more appealing to me than SBU’s, and the social scene - you see people chilling on campus. My good friend from SBU would visit Bing, not vice versa. It's my opinion, and you have to consider that I studied business, too.

For premed, it is pretty good. You can thoroughly do well grade-wise, but it isn’t easy at either school. I’m not super familiar with class sizes in science majors, but ik chem classes and other prereq classes at both colleges are royally fucked in terms of size too

I'd choose whichever is cheaper. Also, consider if u want to have a traditional college experience or if u want a “higher” ranked stem program/ science program that outweighs the minor rank differences and other various college experience factors. I think the ranking conversation about stem is exaggerated, and that's for many different school comparisons, but again, I'm not in that field, so I see it from a different perspective

[river minnow]

The vast majority do

[knotty badger]

Around half commute, per SBU website

[fallow torrent]

Website or store

I think they should have ur preferred size

[fallow torrent]

Are u from nyc

Or long island

[vocal sky]

yoo maybe out school renting is cheaper

💀

[silk flower]

Nyc

I’m dorming

[fallow torrent]

Then not rlly commute

Most ppl that go to sbu is from nyc

[river minnow]

Checks out. That's a lot for a college and it feels basically 100% commuting based on my friend's perspective of social scene on weekends

[silk flower]

It’s the weekends

[river minnow]

a lot of fraternity parties and bar nights in the downtown

[sand sluice]

BING is taking off the waitlist!!

[vocal sky]

wow now?

what about sbu

[sand sluice]

i just got the call

💀💀

[vocal sky]

Wow

[sand sluice]

they give you 24hr + no fin aid info

• don’t offer u a portal update

[vocal sky]

tf

[sand sluice]

so i’m going to decline it bc well

no fin aid

and i like the program at my college better

but for those of u on it

[vast marsh]

Just a phone call?

[sand sluice]

yes

💀💀

[vast marsh]

Bruh

[fallow torrent]

🥀

[sand sluice]

u reminded me to call them back

[fallow torrent]

🥀

Guys how good is suny ithaca

[sand sluice]

better cuny columbia

[vocal sky]

=cornell

😈

[sand sluice]

ccny

as someone who also got into ccny full ride—it just has a lot more resources and access to all the CUNY schools including hunter so it’s more versatile

you can use almost any CUNY resources at all the schools and their fund for your own projects is also helpful

the name is also better than LIU if that’s a consideration

depending on your major, you can push around with hunter too

if you’re like a bioeng major

and get a minor in something medical at hunter

bc you can take hunter classes

yeah exactly

i just think overall it’s a better program

and if it’s something like dorming

then ccny shares a dorm w columbia students

and a lot people tend to do macculay-> columbia transfer if that’s smthing you’re considering

[sand sluice]

i’m not sure my friend who went and spoke to a few ex students talked abt their friends doing it

i don’t have much info but she started talking abt it

word out of mouth but i’d do my own research and talk to current students abt it

[fallow torrent]

macaulay

its nyu lvl prestige

also ccny is really good for premed but sophie davis program better

[fallow torrent]

is it better than baruch?

and secondly, by ccny full ride did they give u the honors program or ur aid js gave u full ride

are u ooc

Out of city

At least u have the honors program

Js asking

I only know m honors baruch

And its really good in wall st

So i assumed it applies to all m honor cunys

Prob cause olin better for her major

who got accepted bing

[sand sluice]

me

so for personal rzns i want to leave the city—it was a big factor for me. i also just felt like olin is better for my enginnering placement not necessarily my major

i also rlly love hands on learning

and the connection to wellesy

i also wanted a little more of a campus feel than what ccny offered

although i also had sbu honors college

but olin was cheaper + checked more things off for me lol

[sand sluice]

just regular baruch?

i mean for pre med yeah

baruch is best for finance

bing hates me

💔💔

waitlisted me after deferring me then accepting me wo a fin aid offer and only estimated

like girl i’m not paying 30k for you

bffr

[fallow torrent]

Lucky

They waitlisted me and gave me a transfer option

[sand sluice]

you have cornell..

💔💔

you don’t need bing

[fallow torrent]

What is cornell

I only know suny ithaca

[sand sluice]

my bad suny ithaca

i would like suny ithaca

anyway

i also like interned at nyu for a while

and heard good things abt olin

so

💔💔

[fallow torrent]

In cunys?

[sand sluice]

electrical and computer enginnering!

[sand sluice]

yeah

[fallow torrent]

Is olin a liberal arts college

[sand sluice]

for two labs + i’m working as another intern for another dept

[fallow torrent]

Like those smaller colleges

[sand sluice]

it’s an enginnering only college

so it’s like that but only enginnering

🤧🤧

[languid pine]

i didn't like how small olins class sizes per year were

[sand sluice]

fair enough tbh

i could deal with it bc well

[fallow torrent]

Oh

[sand sluice]

i’m social enough

💔🤗

yeaaa

i mean

it was either olin or purdue

and erm purdue just wasn’t my thing

i tried hard to get into it but

i rlly couldn’t

the reddit prestige kids came after me for this choice 💔

like guys! please it’s my decision not yours 😢😢

type shit

[river minnow]

Reddit is full of insufferable people

[sand sluice]

ooo

i would honestly stick to ccny tbh

if i was in ur spot

[sand sluice]

stop yeah…

i rlly love the idea of olin + alr made friends by that point

[fallow torrent]

Fr

[sand sluice]

the only thing purdue had was prestige on a grander point bc i wanna go to grad school

but olin’s grad school placement is actually good

[fallow torrent]

They target anyone that doesnt go to mit or harvard

[sand sluice]

i mean

i’d do research

i have a girl i know whose doing research at columbia rn

she goes to hunter macculay

and she does a ton of research

she’s going into her sophomore year rn

so like it’s def possible

[river minnow]

I had a friend who applied to the same internship as me and he was at Harvard. He got rejected and I got it. Pharma company. And I go to a state school

Prestige isn’t everything

[sand sluice]

wait

u cooked

[river minnow]

Felt bad for him tho

[fallow torrent]

How do u do research at columbia but u a hunter student

[sand sluice]

like how high school students do research in colleges

😭😭

[fallow torrent]

What uni u go to

[river minnow]

Tbf he wasn’t studying a relevant subject tho

[sand sluice]

you cold email and try

there’s also programs

but i won’t say that im like completely in love w olin since i am wanting to get off waitlists for two schools—but overall be happy and try to enjoy the place you’re going

[river minnow]

Ye point is don’t be disheartened. U guys all are going to schools that will eventually get u a job if u put in the work

Some schools may get u in the door faster

That’s all

[sand sluice]

i will say this

my friend who goes there

doesn’t feel that

bc of macculay

and so does my friend whose doing the sophie davis program

or my sbu honors friends

[fallow torrent]

Naw

How good is sophie davis, my friend committed to the program so im asking out of curiosity

[sand sluice]

yeah i mean

that make senses

[vocal sky]

yea especially engineering field

they care about ur ability than where u go

[rose orbit]

cunys are alrdy practically free if you are from ny

[night frigate]

my school's application history for stony brook

7% acceptance rate 2025

??

insane

[fallow torrent]

where do u check stats like this

[night frigate]

i'm on naviance

[orchid bronze]

Naviance is self report

Most people dont report their safeties/targets

Cause they just dont care tbh

[fallow torrent]

Ts so dead

🥀 🥀

[vocal sky]

👀

not that many people applied suny
