>>> WE ARE BACK. IT'S 8:40.
WE GOT THE LATEST ON A REMARKABLE GROUP OF GUYS WHOSE
JOURNEY WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR A WHILE.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WADE QUADRUPLETS.
THEY DID EXCEPTIONALLY WELL IN HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THEY JOINED US TO REVEAL THEY WERE GOING TO THE SAME IVY
LEAGUE COLLEGE HERE ON "TODAY." THAT'S A GOOD ASSIGNMENT,
THOMAS. >> THESE GUYS ARE FUN.
THE BOYS WE FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW, THEY MADE WORLDWIDE HEADLINES,
THE WADE BROTHERS, LAST SPRING, WHEN THEY THEY WERE ALL ACCEPTEO
HARVARD, YALE AND A BUNCH OF PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOLS.
THEY DECIDED ON YALE. AND THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF
THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR THERE. WAKE UP, GUYS.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO CLASS. IT'S A TRUE RIGHT OF PASSAGE
WHEN A CHILD LEAVES FOR COLLEGE. AND FOR THE WADE FAMILY, IT'S
HAPPENING FOUR TIMES OVER. SO, THERE'S NO SIBLING RIVALRY?
>> THERE IS. >> Reporter: THEY'RE QUADRUPLET
BROTHERS, BORN MINUTES APART. >> ZACH.
>> NIGEL. >> AARON.
>> NICK. >> Reporter: WE MET THEM IN
SPRAL, WHEN THEY GOT OFFERS FROM 49 COLLEGES, INCLUDING HARVARD,
YALE, DUKE AND STANFORD. >> WE NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE AS
MANY AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE.
>> Reporter: THEY CHOSE TO STICK TOGETHER AND DECIDED WITH ITS
FRIENDLY VIBE AND ENTICING FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE, YALE
UNIVERSITY WAS THE PICK. >> THE SENSE TO ME, IT WAS
UNLIKE ANY OTHER. >> Reporter: AT HOME IN OHIO.
>> HOW MANY PAIRS OF SHORTS ARE YOU TAKING?
>> Reporter: THEY PACKED AND PREPPED.
>> WE'RE NOT TAKING THAT. THAT'S A LITTLE TOO SMALL FOR
US. >> Reporter: AND HEADED TO NEW
HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, WHERE WE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM ON CAMPUS.
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE?
>> WE SEE EACH OTHER IN PASSING. >> Reporter: DO YOU NOD AND STAY
HELLO? >> JUST HEAD DOWN.
>> WE'LL ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER. >> WE'LL WAVE.
>> Reporter: YOU SEE, THEY'RE CLOSE HERE.
BUT NOT TOO CLOSE. >> YOU CAN SEE, I'VE STARTED
HANGING THINGS IN MY CLOSET HERE.
>> THIS IS MY BED. A NICE VIEW OVER THE STREET.
>> Reporter: FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE GUYS ARE LIVING APART.
EACH ONE IN A DIFFERENT RESIDENCE HALL.
NICK, YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE BEST DORM, RIGHT?
>> I DON'T THINK, I KNOW. >> Reporter: YOU KNOW?
>> YES. >> Reporter: THESE FUN-LOVING
OHIO OVERACHIEVERS, ARE TAKING DIFFERENT ACADEMIC ROADS.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CLASS HALLS ARE?
>> WE'LL FIND THAT OUT. >> ON THE SCHEDULE FOR THIS
WEEKEND. WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT.
>> Reporter: NIGEL IS PURSUING NEUROSCIENCE.
AARON, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ZACH IS PLANNING ON CHEMICAL
ENGINEERING. AND NICK, INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS. I'M GOING TO PLAY A GAME OF MOST
LIKELY. >> OKAY.
>> Reporter: MOST LIKELY TO OVERSLEEP AND MISS CLASS?
>> NICK. >> ZACH.
>> I GET UP EARLY E EVERY WEEKE. >> Reporter: MOST LIKELY TO

>> AARON. >> Reporter: MOST LIKELY TO
MISPLACE THEIR DORMROOM KEY FIRST?

>> Reporter: MOST LIKELY TO BE THE BIGGEST HEARTBREAKER ON
CAMPUS? >> NICK.

PARENTS, KIM AND DARREN WADE, ARE NOW EMPTY-NESTERS.
>> THEY HAVE EACH OTHER. THERE'S A UNIT HERE.
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. >> I'M JUST HAPPY THEY'RE OUT,
MAN. DUDE.
THE GOAL WAS TO GET THEM OUT. IF THEY'RE IN AN IVY LEAGUE
SCHOOL, THAT'S JUST ICING ON THE CAKE.
>> YES. >> MEETING WITH THE DEANS OF
COLLEGES TONIGHT. >> GOING TO HAVE LUNCH WITH
FRIENDS. >> WE ARE A SUPPORT GROUP FOR
EACH OTHER IF WE NEED TO BE, WE ALSO CAME TO YALE TO FIND OUR
OWN PERSONALITIES AND GROUPS. >> Reporter: FOUR BROTHERS WITH
FOUR DIFFERENT DREAMS. BUT ONE UNBREAKABLE BOND.
COULD YOU IMAGINE IF ALL FOUR OF YOU WEREN'T TOGETHER ON THE SAME
CAMPUS? >> HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, KIND
OF NO BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY LIKE INTEGRATED INTO THE YALE
COMMUNITY, AS INDIVIDUALS BUT ALSO, AS BROTHERS.
SO, I'M ACTUALLY GLAD TO HAVE THAT.
LOOKING BACK, I'M GLAD WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE SAME PLACE.
>> SUCH GREAT GUYS. I GOT TO WALK AROUND CAMPUS WITH
THEM. IT'S FUN TO SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE
INTERACTING WITH THEM. PEOPLE KNOW THEM.
THEY WERE EAGER TO COME UP AND MEET THEM.
AND THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF QUADS TO GO TO YALE SINCE 2010.
BUT THEY WERE GREAT. WE GAVE THE BOYS RAMEN NOODLES.
THAT'S WHAT EVERY FRESHMAN NEEDS.
AND SOME "TODAY" SHOW HATS. BUT THE RAMEN NOODLES, THEY WERE
EXCITED ABOUTBOUT THAT. >> DO THEY EVER FIGHT?
>> THAT'S WHY WE PLAYED MOST LIKELY.
THE MOST FUNNY ONE WAS WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO WEAR THE SAME
OUTFIT TO CLASS TWO DAYS IN A ROW AND NOT CARE?
AND ZACH WAS BUSTED ON THAT. WHEN I ASKED DAD ABOUT THAT, IT
WOULD BE ZACH. BUT IT WOULD BE NIGEL, TOO,
BECAUSE HE WILL FORGET. HE WILL FORGET.
>> DAD IS LIKE, I WANT THEM GONE.
>> DAD WAS GREAT. WE WERE CO-MISS RATING.
I WAS USING MY POWDER PUFF. HEY, DAD.
LET'S COOL DOWN
