I applied as a computer engineering majorFeb 28 2010Computer Science
I applied as a computer engineering major. Conveniently I am also a girl, which qualified me for the WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) program. It is a competitive program on the same rank as the Honors College.

If you are looking to get into Stony Brook, I recommend you do some research and see which majors are lacking students and apply as that major. Once you get in you are free to take any courses you choose. Do well in the course of the major you intend to switch into, and then declare your major.
SAT: 1300 Female
