Devon and Dylan Lee, fraternal twins from New Hyde Park, share not only their genes but a streak of academic success.

The brothers, who are seniors at Herricks High School, were announced by their school as the top two students in their class – Devon as valedictorian and Dylan as salutatorian – in November 2023.

According to a report by ABC 7 New York, the brothers’ GPAs were different by just six-thousandths of a point.

The station also announced that the Lees have chosen what colleges they’ll be attending: Devon will be heading to Cornell, while Dylan will be at Yale.

Ever the well-rounded students, the brothers also participate in running and volleyball (the latter of which they’ve won multiple championships in), teach Chinese yoyo at their school’s Asian American Cultural club, and play instruments, the double bass and cello.

“Our parents value education, and I've always told us to try our best," Dylan said to ABC 7. “Not the grade, just try our best."
