Ronald Franzen ‘15, John Luo ‘15, Jaydeep Singh ‘15, Everett Wilson ‘15, Bryan Yao ‘15, Calvin Su ‘15, and Christian Carroll ‘15 achieved a perfect ACT score of 36.

The students took the test last April, and recently received their scores back.

“[I felt] really fantastic,” Wilson ‘15 said. “You know it’s always nice to have a milestone that tells you you’ve been doing it all right and set yourself up for success.”

Franzen and Su took the test twice in order to complete their goal of receiving a perfect score.

“I was definitely pretty proud and pretty happy about it,” Su ‘15 said. “I just looked over my mistakes and worked on the practice tests. I took it twice and the first time I got a 34 so I thought I improved the second time.”

The students all agree that this score will assist them to get into their dream college.

“I felt really happy. I was ecstatic that all my hard work had finally paid off,” Singh ‘15 said.
