Hunter College Elementary School, a laboratory school for the study of "intellectually gifted" children, is one of the most sought after schools in the city. Nearly 1,800 families request an application for their children to take an IQ test to be considered for admission at a cost of about $300. Of those, between 250 and 300 meet the cutoff necessary to be interviewed, which ranges from the 97th to the 98th percentile, depending on the year. A total of 48 are chosen for the kindergarten class.
