Please join us for the Hunter College Now Summer Science Institute. This is your chance to do something exceptional this summer, and the best part is that the course will be completely free! One college class costs around $1,500 and we are paying that for you to be able to earn some college credits before you graduate high school!

College Now courses during the summer are open to current NYC public high school 10th grade and 11th grade students who meet the following requirements. Current high school seniors are not eligible.

Our summer courses will be held either in person, hybrid or online. Students who are accepted into courses listed as in person or hybrid will have to submit proof of COVID vaccination in order to be enrolled.

Program runs from July 12 – August 16.

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.
