    Hunter College High School (HCHS):

    The Hunter College High School Entrance Exam -- for Seventh Grade entry in Fall 2024 -- will be administered on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.

    Cut scores from the NYS 5th Grade exams will be posted when the necessary data is received from the Department of Education (DOE). We anticipate being able to do so by late October 2023.

    The admissions application for Hunter College High School (HCHS) will open once scores are confirmed.

    The eligibility criteria for the 2024 Entrance Exam will be made available in October.
