Emily McDougal - Quadruplets Accepted Into Harvard, Duke and Yale

Summary: Nigel, Zachary, Aaron, and Nick are very successful quadruplets who have all been accepted into Harvard, Duke, and Yale. Some of the brothers were also accepted into Stanford, University of Chicago, and Princeton. In total, the boys were accepted into 8 ivy leagues. Their parents encouraged them to just apply as much as they could, but they never expected such an amazing response. Originally they didn't think they would go to the same school, but now they are considering the option because of the opportunities it will present.

Analysis: This article was written on April 6, 2017, by Anne Woosley, to tell the story of these incredible boys. I hadn't heard about the quadruplets before, but this is such an amazing story! It really shows that if you go for what you want and work hard enough, you will succeed. I'm so impressed that they pulled this off, and I think it will be interesting to see where they'll go from here.

Synthesis: This reminds me of the story that came out a few weeks ago about the girl who was accepted to all the ivy league colleges.
