Program Information

College Now courses during the summer are open to current 10th and 11th grade students who meet the following requirements. Current high school seniors would not be eligible to apply. You only need scores from one of the columns i.e. only SATs or PSATs or Regents or the extra requirements. If your scores are close enough (whether it be within 5 points in the Regents or 30 points in the PSAT/SAT) to meet our eligibility requirements, you are still encouraged to apply because you will be in our waitlist range. All students MUST still submit a transcript and their PSAT and/or SAT scores (if available). We can also accept recommendation letters in lieu of standardized test scores.

Students who are interested in applying for our Physics and Statistics must be currently enrolled in and on track to pass Trigonometry or higher level Math course. Those who are accepted into one of these courses would then be required to take a Math placement exam to make sure they qualify for the course. 

We encourage students to select a course for which they have not already earned a 4 or 5 on the AP exam. Chemistry is intended for students with no advanced background in the subject. 

In addition to the scores mentioned below, students must have a cumulative GPA of 75 or higher to be eligible for the Hunter College Now Summer Institute. 

*EBRW (Evidence Based Reading and Writing)

** Eligibility can also be satisfied with different combinations (Ex. ELA and PSAT/ SAT Math, PSAT Reading and Math Regents, ELA and Math Regents, etc.)

*** We can also accept recommendation letters in lieu of standardized test scores. Recommendation letters can be emailed to a College Now staff member in the event that your teacher/guidance counselor would prefer not to provide recommendation letters directly to the applicant.

Program will run from July 14^th – August 17^th
