Quadruplet brothers graduate Yale together
Almost four years quadruplet brothers got accepted into several top universities including Harvard, Yale, Duke, Stanford and more. Aaron, Nick, Zach, and Nigel Wade, better known as the Wade Quad have graduated from college. The four brothers from Liberty Township a Cincinnati suburb decided to attend Yale University according to Today.
While in school Aaron double majored in computer science and psychology, while Nick obtained a degree in political science, with a minor in Arabic. Zach doubled majored in chemical engineering and economics, and Nigel got his degree in molecular, cellular and developmental biology. Technically only three of the boys were able to turn their tassel as Aaron will spend one more semester at school while he finished his senior thesis.
The men who’re now 22, were able to to live different lives on campus. They told People it was their diverse academic choices that enabled them to create their own identities. In addition, the brothers revealed that in the four years they attended Yale, Aaron and Nigel were the only two who shared a class. Along with requesting that they be put into different residential colleges.
“We grew up in this town where we had always existed as The Quads or the Wade brothers. But when we got to Yale, it was very much small fish in a big pond. Nobody really knew who we were. I feel that when people met me at Yale, they met Aaron Wade, as opposed to one of the quadruplets,” Aaron told the media outlet. “I wouldn’t [sic] just be walking on the street and just be like, ‘Oh hey, there’s my brother.’ When that happened, I would be shook. I’d be like, ‘Oh my God, I completely forgot that you go to this school.’”
“In high school, we all knew the same people. So in a sense, that didn’t allow us to divert as much as we might’ve wanted to,” Nick added. “But in college, because there’s so many different types of people, and we had so many different diverse interests, I think we were able to carve our paths in our own way.”
Now after graduating Nick has landed a gig at Goldman Sachs in New York, Nigel will remain in New Haven, Connecticut, for a two-year research program in a lab focused on Parkinson’s disease, before going to medical school. Zach will also be working for Goldman Sachs but in San Francisco, Cafiorinia. Once Aaron is officially graduated in December, he’ll be moving to New York City to work for Google.
