What Makes a Complete Application
A complete application to the Health Sciences Center, Stony Brook University includes:
  • Submission of the on-line application.
  • Payment of Application Fee.
  • Three references submitted on the appropriate official Reference Report form. References should be solicited from former professors, employers, supervisors or health care professionals. References from personal friends or relatives are not acceptable.**
  • Official transcripts from all institutions attended (including institutions that granted college credit while you attended high school; and those that granted credit for courses not relevant to intended program). To expedite review of your application, unofficial transcripts may be submitted until your official transcripts arrive. Current and former Stony Brook students may not have to request official transcripts from Stony Brook University. (This will be assessed when your application is submitted.)
Stony Brook University's Health Sciences Center application procedure places responsibility on the applicant for requesting supporting credentials and submitting them to the Office of Student Services. Any additional documentation required by the program you are applying to should be mailed directly to the Office of Student Services. This will allow Stony Brook University, HSC to process your application in a timely fashion. Mail all documentation to:
Stony Brook University
Office of Student Services, HSC, L2-271
Stony Brook, NY 11794-8276

The application for admission, together with all supporting documents, becomes the property of the Health Sciences Center, Office of Student Services once it is submitted. No materials will be returned to the applicant or sent to other institutions. We recommend that you make copies for your own records. All admission correspondence and decision letters will be mailed to your permanent home address.
You will receive immediate acknowledgement of your application submission to your email address. Instructions will be included so that you may track your application documents on-line using Stony Brook’s SOLAR system.
*NOTE: The law requires that after January 1, 1975, letters of recommendation, references or evaluations, may be kept confidential if the applicant has waived all subsequent rights to examine them. Since confidentiality may affect the type of reference given, the applicant may prefer to sign the waiver. Be sure to check the box indicated on the Reference Report included in the application.
