I found your video really usefull! I’m from Spain and my spanish university has given me the oportunity to go to Stony Brook next year, Im really happy to go but I’m a little afraid of what is going to be like Stony Brook next year with COVID-19 and online classes. Do you think classes will still be online in 2021-2022 course? And how good are teachers and online facilities?

[@gracelickey3790]

At this rate, it seems like most classes will be back on campus by fall (I did hear that summer 2021 classes will most likely still be online though). I think most professors have been very supportive and reasonable during this rough time and I’m sure you’ll have a great time! Good luck and wish to see you here💗

[@specialdivision4]

ayy thanks for the video! this helped a lot w/ my decision

[@jakefield9942]

also how are parties/ student life in SBU

[@TasfiqurRob]

Ayeee cool vid! Would definitely love to see some more stony brook vids as it’s probably my top choice in terms of unis. If you want am idea consider something like a stats video or when you’re on campus again perhaps do a 1 week food tour (Brownie in stony did one but kinda just want more info). I’m quite concerned regarding my academics, my gpa in school was absolutely trash as I simply didn’t try to perform well (I’m actually studying outside usa so its a bit different here). Basically we’d focus on end of year grades and performance on board exams. In short, I moved from new york to Bangladesh and I study under UK curriculum so it’s a bit difficult to explain. But basically I had 3 A*, 1 B, and 1 C in o levels (basically final year exam for 10th grade) and for A levels (11th grade final year exam) I had 3 A’s, 4 B’s, 1 C, and a D. Here these grades are considered quite good (to give you an idea universities like UAlbany, UB grant AP credits to any subject you get C or higher in A levels as it’s integrated into our curricula) but not quite sure if it would hold it’s weight at stony brook or at other unis in general. Im planning to move back to new york for uni but at the same time don’t want to be far outside my comfort zone of NYC. As per my extracurriculars they are probably my strongest point as I’m the founder and executive adviser of a foundation which has helped thousands of underprivileged people in Bangladesh with weeks of food supplies and medicine. P.S dropped a sub and push notifications, hoping for some more stony vids perhaps even story times! Rock on 🤘

[@gracelickey3790]

Thank you for commenting and subscribing! its great to hear you have an interest in stony. im not the best person to judge but based on your grades and extracurriculars it sounds like you have a pretty good chance of getting in. they also love international students (im not sure if you're considered that tho) ! Ualbany and UB are similar schools academically though so i think it holds the same weight at stony, especially since they're all SUNYs. unfortunately bc of the pandemic, i wont be dorming on campus for awhile and wont be able to do vlogs but i intend to make more informational videos if youd like. thanks!

[@Ali-xi8dg]

Hi, I have got the admission for fall 2021 and I am going to live on campus but I haven't got the faintest idea about which community to choose or what meal plan to choose or what does the meal plan cover do I have to pay every time or not. It would be great if you could guide me on that.

[@gracelickey3790]

hi! i chose the community based on the room styles. basically, I really wanted a suite-style room rather than a corridor-style room so I searched up which quads have suites. kelly quad and roth have suites if you're interested! and all first year students are required to go on the unlimited meal plan which means that you can enter east and west side dining as many times you want a day :) lmk if you have any other questions

Great video thank you my daughter ALEYNA got excepted to the pre-nursing program for the fall 2022 program she also got excepted to other colleges for direct nursing program her number one choice is Stony Brook but she said that it is very competitive to move on and that you would need to be invited to get into the last two years of the nursing program is this true is it very competitive and what kind of GPA would she need to move on forward from the pre-nursing two-year program to the last two years thank you

also is the only nursing major pre nursing? is their a nursing major?

[@gracelickey3790]

pre-nursing is basically an "Area of interest" and it's technically not a major- it just means that you're interested in doing nursing. there are two nursing programs at stony brook: the basic baccalaureate and the accelerated baccalaureate program. the basic one is a 2-year program, accelerated is a 1-year program however you need to have a degree from some other major to apply for that :) anyway as a pre-nursing student you basically complete all the pre-requisites that are needed to apply to the nursing programs

[@spica7993]

what's your major?? do diff majors have super different experiences??

[@gracelickey3790]

my major is health science with an interest in nursing ☺️ for most majors i think the experience is pretty much the same the first year bc everyone gets the same core courses down with. after that i think most stem majors all still have pretty similar experiences !

[@leashamartin2007]

Would you say pre-nursing is hard to get into?

[@gracelickey3790]

@@leashamartin2007 pre-nursing is just the area of interest you get into if you want to apply to nursing school so its not a problem to become a pre-nursing student (its the years you finish your pre-requisites that you'd need if you want to apply to nursing school). i am not in the nursing program yet though but i know that the nursing school is extremely selective. I've heard there's like 1000 applicants and only 80 seats.
