is SUNY stony brook a good uni?

[greaterbein]

Is SUNY stony brook very difficult to get into for masters? does it require an exceptionally high GRE score?

[Crucial BBQ]

I am not sure about how difficult it is get into, but in general MS programs are easier to gain admittance into vs. Ph.D. programs in the U.S.

 

As for the school, Stony Brook is generally regarded as a great university.

I cannot speak for specific programs, but in general it is not as difficult to get into as Ivy League, Berkeley, UMich or the like, but it is generally well ranked.

 

Use the Results Search feature, and use key word searches, to get a general sense of acceptance/rejection ratios for your program. Just remember they only show results from people who have entered them on this forum, not the total applicant pool. But it is a start.

Field please...

 

I can only speak for physics, where you'd be better off applying for the PhD directly. It is well-regarded for particle physics, both experimental (after all, Brookhaven is nearby) and theoretical.

I did my undergrad at sbu in ee. if your field of research is semiconductors, its a great place. they have well known professors in that field.
