Twin Blue Devils

Sachin and Sonali Sanjay are part of an elite group—less than 8% of applicants to Duke University were accepted to attend the school in Fall 2020. No doubt they’re part of an even smaller group, too—twins who were both accepted and plan to attend. While Sonali and Sachin worked individually with Steward’s college counseling office to consider their own unique set of schools, they both decided separately that Duke was the right place. 

“We didn’t have a purposeful intention to pick either different colleges or the same one,” Sonali said. ”Going into the process, we weren’t sure if our preferences would line up. There are so many factors to consider. It turned out that we both just loved Duke. From the culture to the professors and academic program to sports and clubs, it seems like the perfect place to continue the next chapter of our education. I’m so grateful that it turned out the way it did.”
