AVON, Ohio — Wow! What an accomplishment!
17-year-old Cole Emerine, a junior at Avon High School, nabbed a perfect score of 36 on the ACT.
School officials say he first took the test last year as a sophomore and scored a 35 at that time.
“Our school requires everyone to take the test in their junior year, so that’s why I took it again,” Cole said. “I didn’t study the first time because it was just a benchmark for me. I was surprised last year to get the 35. I didn’t study this year either.”
On average, less than 2 percent nab a top score, school officials said.
His goals are to obtain both a medical degree and a doctorate with a desire to work in the field of cancer research.
Although he is undecided on a college, he has a list of top-tier schools in mind, like Duke, Stanford and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Way to go, Cole! Congratulations!
