Stony Brook University (SUNY)

Stony Brook University (SUNY) reads exactly one piece of writing: the Common App personal statement (250-650 words). There is no "why Stony Brook University (SUNY)" essay and no short answers, so adding it to a list costs zero extra essays; the statement you already have is the entire file here.

That cuts both ways. With no supplement, there is no second chance to show fit or interest in writing, so the one essay has to do all the character work on its own.

There is one round here: everything is due January 15, 2027. No early-application strategy to weigh: every file is read on the same calendar.
