Double Trouble at ACC

According to a 2006 study, about 32 twins are born from every 1000 live births. The odds of having triplets are about 1 in 8100 live births. And the odds of Aurora Central having 10 sets of twins—7 identical sets and 3 fraternal—in less than 500 students, are well, pretty odd. There are two sets of twins in the class of 2009: Alexandra and Nicole Hupp, and Ethan and Tori Romba; four sets in the class of 2010: Kendra and Samantha Bradley, Brian and Kevin Droeske, Marisela and Miriam Fonseca, and Andrew and Tyler Scott; two sets in the class of 2011: Joseph and Michael Reuland, and Joseph and Kelly Vonderhaar; and two sets in the class of 2012: Jeanette and Michael Gulczynski, and Danielle and Liz Fletcher, and seniors Kristen Brouch and Michelle DeSimone have twin brothers at Marmion Academy. 

January and April are the months with the most birthdays at ACC, both having 50, and December has the least, with 31. The oldest student at Aurora Central is senior Jacob Niemiec, and the youngest is freshman Rachel Mytnick. There are 65 sets of students who share the same exact birthday and year, sort of like unrelated twins. In next year’s freshmen class, there will even be a set of triplets. Freshman Kennedy Bubolz’s family has 9 children, with 3 sets of twins. The odds of having three sets of twins, of any kind, is 1 in 500,000.
