questions about transferring to the computer science program

hey! I'm scouting potential transfer schools for computer science because next semester will be my last semester at cc before earning an AS degree in computer science.

I see that stony brook has a few requirements:

transfer students may apply for acceptance to the major after completing at least ten credits of required CSE courses, including CSE 114 and CSE 215, with grades of B- or higher and a grade point average of 3.20 or higher in these courses.

my school teaches comp sci 1, comp sci 2, and data structures, which translates to stony brook's CSE 110, CSE 114, and CSE 214 respectively. I have an A in 1 & 2 and I'm on track for an A in data structures as well. the only problem is my school's discrete math course doesn't transfer to CSE 215.

CSE 110 isn't a required course, but 114 and 214 are and I will be able to get credit for those courses. so basically I have 7/10 credits required to be admitted into the CS program and my GPA between those classes is a 4.0.

from what I gather, I would have to enter as an "AOI" CS major, take CSE 215, get at least a B-, and I should be good to get into the program? am I correct in my assumption? this is all based on pretty brief research. is there anything else I should know? I will be taking an intro to discrete math course next semester so at least I will be able to get my feet wet with the subject material.

thank you.
