Alexander Qin would like to attend either Stanford or the University of Pennsylvania when he graduates from Brentwood High School next spring.
His chances of getting into both got a lot better recently after he found out he had earned a perfect score on his ACT.
Qin, who took the ACT twice in middle school and twice in high school before getting a perfect score, had never scored higher than a 34 and was very excited to learn he had earned a 36, which had been his goal all along.
“That was definitely a goal because it’s a huge help applying to colleges,” Qin said. “Obviously it’s not easy to get, so I was really happy that I got a 36.”
While he knew he had a chance at the perfect score, he was uncertain just how well he did.
“I thought I did pretty well, but I wasn’t exactly sure because you can never really know,” he said. “I think it should be a huge help, especially for Stanford where just about everyone applying has a 35 or 36.”
