Stony Brook Interviews?

Post by clopensets » Mon Jan 31, 2022 3:56 pm

I interviewed with Stony Brook Applied Math and Statistics PhD program. I was wonder if anyone else interviewed with them and how the admission decision was going. I saw someone else post as if they got an offer the same day as the interview. The graduate chair told me, "Well if it's a yes, expect an email within 3 weeks."

Well it turns out that I got a same day offer as well. Good luck to those still waiting to hear from Stony Brook.

What kind of questions do they ask? I'm terrified I'll have to do some interviews over the next couple months :shock:

Applied Math just asks you to discuss your background, why your interested in the program, what track you want to be placed in and why.

Has anyone who was interviewed in the past few weeks to the pure math program at Stony Brook heard back from them?

I received an email from the graduate administrator about being accepted a week after I interviewed with the coordinator, and then a few days later received invitation to the graduate open house at the end of the month.

When I interviewed with Stony Brook, they wanted to make sure I knew what the program was about (i.e. my research interests aligned with theirs) and they wanted to know how serious I would be about an offer. It's also a time for you to ask questions, and you should make sure you have some. This will show them that you've done your research on that school and are invested.
