SAT Scores for Stony Brook?

I’m eyeing Stony Brook University as one of my top choices. Can anyone give me a range for the SAT scores they typically accept? Does anyone know if they super-score? Thanks fellow applicants!

Stony Brook University, being a fairly competitive school, generally looks for SAT scores in the range of around 1330 to 1470. Remember, these are approximations and this range represents the middle 50% of accepted students, which means that 25% of accepted students scored below this range and 25% scored above it.

Moreover, Stony Brook does indeed super-score the SAT, so they will consider your highest section scores across all the dates you took the SAT. Make sure to send all of your SAT score reports to them so that they can calculate your highest possible composite score.

However, I'd also like to underscore the importance of not solely focusing on your SAT scores. Stony Brook, like most universities, reviews applications in a holistic manner, which means they use multiple factors such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and essays in addition to test scores to evaluate candidates.

Lastly, don’t forget, the SAT is only one part of your application. It's also important to focus on your coursework, grades, and extracurriculars. Strong performances in those areas can often balance out a test score that might be slightly below the middle 50% range. Good luck with your application!
