Hunter admissions
This school admits at Kindergarten only, through Hunter's own two-round process.
Admission is by Hunter's own two-round assessment
- Run by Hunter College, not the DOE. The Hunter College Campus Schools are public and tuition-free, but administered and funded by Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY). They sit entirely outside MySchools, with their own application and their own calendar.
- Kindergarten entry only. Round 1 is an individually administered IQ test (currently the Stanford-Binet) arranged through Hunter’s approved testers; children who meet the cutoff are invited to a Round 2 on-campus group assessment. Students in good academic standing continue into Hunter College High School without sitting its entrance exam.
- Separate, parallel application. Applying to Hunter never touches your DOE main round, SHSAT, charter, or private applications. Families run it as one more independent shot, and NYC residency is required for the entire enrollment.
Because admission runs through Hunter’s own exam process, we don’t compute an admissions outlook for this school. No priority-group or applicant-pool model honestly predicts an individual student’s result here. Hunter students are also exempt from New York State tests and Regents exams, so state test scores don’t exist for this school; that is an exemption, not missing data.
