About Stony Brook University
Stony Brook University is a mid-sized public university in Stony Brook, NY, in a city setting.
What Stony Brook University looks for
Stony Brook University admits the majority of applicants who meet its baseline academic profile. For most students applying here, the work is in writing applications that reflect real fit rather than treating the application as a checklist. Demonstrated interest matters more here than at the most selective schools. Visiting, attending an info session, and asking real questions of admissions all move the needle.
Frequently asked
What SAT score do I need for Stony Brook University?
Stony Brook University's middle 50% SAT range is 1330 to 1500. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.
What ACT score do I need for Stony Brook University?
Middle 50% ACT range is 29 to 33. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.
What is the acceptance rate at Stony Brook University?
Stony Brook University admits roughly 49% of applicants. An acceptance rate above 40% means a strong application can land here without high-end stats.
What does Stony Brook University actually cost after financial aid?
Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $18,784 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.
Is Stony Brook University a reach, match, or safety for me?
Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat Stony Brook University as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
