Quadruplet brothers in Ohio have all been accepted by Yale and Harvard, and other top universities in the country. Aaron, Zachary, Nigel and Nick Wade are students in Lakota East High School. Lakota East High School Principal Suzanna Davis, said, “I have had the honor of knowing these boys since they were young because of knowing their mom and dad. I have watched these boys grow up into young men. They are excellent students.”

Although they have not made their choices, the Washington Post reports that Aaron likes Stanford University and the three others may likely choose Yale.

When they were younger, their father, Darrin Wade, a software architect for General Electric, would punish disciplinary infractions(纪律违反). For example, if they lied, they would be asked to do push-ups and run around the block. Darrin and their mother, Kim, principal of Lakota Plains Junior School, also asked them to do word puzzles, memorize math tables and write book reports at home from a young age, reports New York Times.

The media quoted Nick as saying, “We’re thankful to our parents and the Lakota East High School. Thanks for their support through our lives.” “It’s really our parents, our friends and our community who have come together and taught us how to be disciplined. Thanks them all,” said Nigel.
