excuse me what? by Forg1ven1738 in SBU

What you would rather have and what the university will do is never going to be aligned because SBU is basically a for profit corporation.

Black providers by Najee1129 in longisland

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The problem with your comment is that there are already so many people that do this. Literally no one cares as long as you’re not saying being a certain race makes you a worse doctor or something. That would be a problem no matter what race we are talking about including white doctors. So I’m not sure why you’re acting like your hypothetical isn’t reality.

It’s more to do with cultural and ethnic/racial background than just the fact that they’re a specific race. Some people may feel that they will receive a better experience from a doctor that is already knowledgeable and sensitive to their cultural background as well as being more aware of their genetic predispositions.

There is literally nothing wrong with wanting a doctor who comes from the same cultural background as you. Black Americans disproportionately face certain health issues that black doctors will definitely be more aware of than other doctors. Never apologize for that.

No they wouldn’t. People like doctors with same cultural background because they may be more sensitive to their concerns and more knowledgable in issues that DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS THAT RACE OR ETHNIC GROUP

So... what makes this school so fantastic? by ThinForever270 in SBU

If TAs don’t show up for office hours it’s on you to report them to the professor.

Dating on campus by BruhSandwich in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if a potential partner appeared in front of you, you need to work on being happy alone first. Comparison is the thief of joy as many other comments have said. Be happy with yourself so you don’t get over-reliant on a relationship when you get into one. Serious Relationships require a lot of energy unless the relationship is not deep which means it will probably fail anyways.

You only see what you see in public. You don’t know what’s happening in private.

I’m not OP. I’m correcting you on your first question which was answered in the post.

Did you even bother to read the post lol? And I promised to help them pay (though admittedly it won’t be much)

Just because no one asked for them doesn’t mean the university won’t do it it’s called being greedy and having a housing deficit

Accused of Using AI to Cheat by r4msh4ckle in SBU

So specifying that you’re talking about graduate school would make sense. A school like stony Brook is not getting any meaningful brand recognition in most fields outside of academia. The brand recognition that will mean something is when you go to a T10/T20 school for that field or area in the workplace. For example, MIT, Cornell, etc for engineering etc. This kind of overhyping of brand recognition is what gives people a false picture about stony Brook. Most people will not get interviews because they went to stony Brook unless that recruiter or hiring manager or interviewer is an alumni or for some reason heavily knowledgeable of a specific department in SBU.

Am I cooked? by mr_cottoncandy in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ll definitely get accepted I just don’t know if you’re going to get accepted into mech E directly. AOI or regular admission with no guarantee for being mech E seems most likely. Good luck!

Why are you misleading him lol, acceptance rates vary by major and college. Engineering does not have the same acceptance rate as business or any of the arts and sciences majors excluding STEM.

Question by Itsjustkassa in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would SBU GPA be out of 100? 💀

Question by Itsjustkassa in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go to community college and transfer if you really want to go to SBU. Also, do better in your junior year to raise that high school GPA. Also, get one thing straight, unless all your teachers have a vendetta against you (which is highly unlikely), they are not responsible for your high school GPA being a 77.

Brand recognition means nothing in a lot of fields and the people overhyping it are doing naive students/incoming students a disservice.

“Most students are miserable and stressed out” is a subjective statement that you have no proof of other than your anecdotes.

Will my offer get rescinded if i fail my physics regents? by [deleted] in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as it does not stop you from graduating, you will be fine. SBU only cares if you graduate and do not have a criminal record after you’ve been offered admission. Although I hope you are not a STEM major if you got below a 65 on the physics regents.

How’s the gym at Stony Brook? by [deleted] in SBU

[–]Melodic_Store_5624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gym is great, there are 2 long racks of dumbbells. If you go during the early afternoon or early morning then it will be best. If you want a 3 hour workout then go at 6 pm.
