The admission process at Stony Brook University involves several key steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through either the SUNY Application or Common App, along with a non-refundable fee. Required materials include high school transcripts, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT), a personal essay, and letters of recommendation.
Some programs may require additional materials like portfolios or auditions. International students must provide English proficiency test scores (TOEFL/IELTS). After submission, applications are reviewed holistically, considering academic performance, extracurriculars, and personal statements. Decisions are typically released on a rolling basis, with deadlines varying by semester and program.
