Krista Bader, a senior at Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy, earned a perfect 36 on the ACT—an achievement reached by fewer than 0.3% of test-takers nationwide. Despite modest expectations, her preparation through OVCA classes and independent study led to the remarkable score. Beyond academics, Krista serves as a volunteer tutor and captain of her school’s robotics team. Inspired by her mother’s support, she hopes to continue helping others learn and dreams of attending Stanford University.
