Before I got accepted into Kingsborough,they offered two of their courses at my high school which allowed me to earn college credits, and grades that I could transfer to Kingsborough or any other City University of New York school upon admission to the school through their College Now Program.I took advantage of this offer and now I have three credits at Kingsborough College before I start my freshmen year there in the fall.Kingsborough also requires all accepted students to take the standard City University Proficiency Test in math,reading,writing and science to help students be placed in the proper courses during their freshmen year at the college.
