Quadruplets Graduate with Honors: A Family Story at Yale

Four siblings, born as a 'quadruplet' set with only minutes between them, recently celebrated graduating with honors from the prestigious Yale University, gaining media attention in the United States.

The four—Aaron, Nick, Zach, and Nigel, all 22 years old—completed their degrees with distinctions.

Nick earned a degree in Political Science with a focus on Arabic, Zach completed Chemical Engineering and Economics, Nigel focused on Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Although Aaron might pursue an additional degree at Yale, he has so far completed studies in Computer Science and Psychology.

Even though they attended the same university, the siblings admit they didn't often see each other on campus. "Usually, when we'd run into each other at university, it was like, 'Oh right, I have a brother studying here. I completely forgot you go to this school too,'" says Aaron, prompting laughter from his three siblings.

What's next for them? The siblings reveal that their careers will start in entirely different places. "Zach will begin his life in San Francisco, Nick will live in New York, Aaron in New Jersey, and Nigel in New Haven. It feels like an extension of our 'Yale experience,' so it's not that difficult for us. I guess the frequency with which we see each other will remain pretty much the same," they shared.
