Two Mundelein High School seniors, Alex Frumkin and Josh Larson, have earned perfect 36 scores on the ACT exam.
Frumkin is waiting to hear from all his preferred schools before deciding where to study next year. His top five choices are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia and the University of Chicago. He plans on an interdisciplinary major and hopes to go on to Law School. During his four years at MHS Frumkin has been involved in many clubs and organizations: president of Model UN, captain of the Academic Team, co-captain of the Mock Trial Team, a Mundelein Theatre board member, band and jazz band, FBLA, NHS and a member of a comedy troupe. He also just started a Philosophy Club at MHS.
Larson transferred from Dekalb High School when he was a sophomore. At DHS he was on the freshman soccer team and in the orchestra. He is currently a member of the IMEA District Orchestra. Larson has been accepted at Northwestern University where he will major in the math/science field. He is considering a teaching career after his college graduation.
Both students say that they had felt “pretty good” about their performance after they took the test. According to PrepScholar, about .108 percent of students taking the ACT Exam earn a perfect 36.
