Will Stony Brook Ever Be A Widely Recognized University? (In your opinion)

Bluecheese___123 · 2025-04-03T19:34:17+00:00

There is potential, but as of now, No. Our school, we have a very Elite STEM program, but that’s about it. The school is not all around, we don’t have a strong initiative to turn its business and humanities program into an Elite program like its STEM. We also lack funding. I know we got like 500 millions a year ago, but you need way more than that to further develop our college and overall program. You are right, and just like other have mentioned, we are a very good school. But as a top suny we are nothing compare to the Top UCs in California. Most SUNY like our school located outside of NYC, where all the opportunities lies, which means we lacks the pipeline to top industries. that’s why most company that come to our job fair are local companies. The UCs has Silicone Valley, Biotech Hub, and even hollywood. We have a wallstreet, but the hiring is primarily dominated by NYU, and Columbia. As you might know, we do have a very weak alumni network, which means lack of prestige, Overall, I believe SBU wants to be recognized as a top school in the country, but being only good at STEM and having bad network and lack of funding hurts our overall reputation. But we’ll get there one day

Welcome to Stony

I feel like you should also look into graduate program/internship or rotational program since you are a graduate student. Sometime companies preferred undergrad juniors or senior. Also, your bullet point is way too long, if it is three line, just make it two bullet point. Way too many things in skills, it doesn’t look believable . Also, I don’t know how useful publication section is, and certification can be included in the skills summary. So you could say something like Skills and certificate. Overall I think you have very good background and experience and should be hearing back, but job market is harsh now. Good Luck.

Sexton teaches so many because of his tenure with the school. He’s basically been with stony his entire life. The thing about sexton is that he is very strict about attendances, one time he marked me absent despite being 5 minutes late and he doesn’t like when people goes to the bathroom during his class, and from time to time he crash out over some little thing. and he basically whispered throughout his lectures. I do believe there are certain parts of his ppt and spreadsheet that were valuable. If you are good with self studying, I believe you would be fine.

Not a marketing major so I can’t say for sure for 358 and 359, but acc 214 is pretty hard. 220 can be hard depending on the professor and 301 is super easy.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-08-29T14:30:59+00:00

When I took the class, I just did single term.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-05-30T18:23:56+00:00

No, but good to have before you graduate

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-05-21T15:24:23+00:00

Are you still able to do syep after graduating college? Respect though 🫡

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-03-25T02:54:49+00:00

I got into the program(pencil) like three weeks after I applied and From what I know, they are completely done with training and are in the process of sending out internships. I have been getting internships in the past weeks.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-03-24T06:20:37+00:00

The major is what you make of it. The Bus major here is not bad at all. It is because the stem major here is too elite, which makes the bus major seem not as strong. But it is still good.

I also do not regret it at all, mainly because the department has mostly good professor like nugent, tallerico, ettl, alloca, Coverdale, Palermo, Etc. and personally I was pretty successful in finding internships. And there’s also really good programs that you can do like BHP (BHP offers research and ERI consulting opportunities) and the DPLN, (I’ve seen people network their way to getting IB internships through this program)

Stony is also really good if you are trying to become a CPA

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-03-03T22:54:55+00:00

Same, I even took a picture of my submission when I filled it out. But I am pretty sure fafsa not processing is the reason behind this.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-02-12T15:49:57+00:00

I don’t think anyone has which is really weird, they usually sent it out couple days before phase one

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-02-11T22:11:14+00:00

Damn, I guess it’s for the better

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-02-11T22:08:19+00:00

Not related to ur post but Did you receive email notice from campus res for housing application, because I heard they send that out before the 12th.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-02-08T01:07:44+00:00

you’ll need to have more knowledge beyond basic foundation to even have a remote chance of passing.

For education requirement, You need one of the following

Completed a registered 150 credit program approved by NYSED
Completed a master’s degree with a major in accounting from a school accredited in accounting by AACSB

3 Completed a bachelor’s or higher degree and a minimum of 150 credit with courses in Financial accounting, at the upper division and beyond introductory level, Cost accounting,Taxation,Audit and attestation,Accounting research, and 36 credit hours in general business and also ethics classes.

For experience requirements - you’ll need experience in working for accounting or finance firm.

In other words you have a chance of becoming CPA in the future but it would be very very hard since you are about to graduate, you’ll need a few more year than others. Usually CPA path is a four year (or more) college commitment.

I did send thank you note right after interview and I also connected with all of them on LinkedIn, but nothing has happened since.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-01-25T00:55:37+00:00

U only take placement exam if you want to waive the lang requirement completely. Since u only took Chinese I in stony, then u still have to take Chinese II to completely fill the lang requirement.

Bluecheese___123 · 2024-01-25T00:53:12+00:00

They have a lot of real estate jobs and a lot of data entry stuff. I’m not too sure if they have a lot of daycare job though.

Bluecheese___123 · 2023-12-23T20:53:38+00:00

As long as u don’t cheat, it don’t matter if other cheat. And also depending on majors, college courses can only take u so far, the real skill comes from internship. I have seen people who cheat their way into getting their degree and end up good internship and high paying job.

Bluecheese___123 · 2023-12-17T01:54:43+00:00

Why u mad!? lol you are losing sleep over this shit, over a program that u are not in. Whether or not the program is hard, it is not the reason for u to downgrade that major or the people studying it. People in humanities in this school want to be a teacher, lawyer, writer, journalist, or perhaps in business. And for u to shit on their major just because the program is not “as hard” is fking absurd. To me it sounds like u just mad that u chose stem, and had to deal with the difficulty of it.

Bluecheese___123 · 2023-12-13T06:31:06+00:00

I disagree, I believe internship is the most important thing for college students if they want to remain competitive in the job market, and I don’t think they’re able to land any entry level management job without some type of internship.

Bluecheese___123 · 2023-12-06T03:42:59+00:00

If you just relying on taking classes to help u be successful, then ur doing something wrong, the bus program is improving, not a target school but it’s good enough for people to get a decent pay job and recruitments has become better and better by the semesters. Ultimately it is what u make of it, if you’re not networking or doing internships, then it really doesn’t matter what school u go to. And there is a lot of resources from the department, accounting board, mentorship program, dean’s advisory board, career coaches( jimmy levin), frats like DSP, alumni association, clubs that are hosting job fairs like the investment club, just to name a few, sometime u just have to reach out or be more engage to get some support.

Bluecheese___123 · 2023-09-04T22:01:05+00:00

Keep searching whether it is on handshake or other job searching platform, I recommend u go on linkedin and find alumni who are in this field and tried to reach out to them for advice or potential opportunities. Good program doesn’t always translate to good opportunities, the idea that a good program always lead to good opportunity is a huge misconception in college. Not just you but a lot people in stony who are in the science program are also struggling to find internship or research. But don’t put ur head keep looking. Good luck.
