Apurva mishra is a senior at Davis Senior H.S. in California. The 17-year old has his own typical teenage imperfections including a disheveled room and a problem – getting out of that bed! His chemistry teacher says he’s been caught falling asleep in class.

But his parents have plenty of room for forgiveness. Because how could a teenager be perfect? You heard that right. Apurva got a perfect score on his SAT exam.

Every single question was answered correctly. The College Board, which administers the exam, says only a “fraction of a percentile” of test-takers achieve this.

Apurva said he prepared “whenever he had free” time. But free time?

He’s vice captain of the Robotics Team, student body president and add to that list – a perfect SAT score?

His dad says he is so proud of his son. Those smarts also run in the family. Auprva’s older brother is a junior at Harvard. He says as long as he is taller than Apurva, he wins.
