Do twins think or act
alike? An identical twins Anuja and Shailja Chalishazar wowed their family by
getting exactly the same A-level grades in exactly the same subjects.
And now 12 months later
they have achieved exactly the same mark in their end of year exams.
“We still can’t get over
it,” said Shailja. “Even our parents couldn’t believe it.”
The 19-year-olds are
studying medicine at Cardiff University after achieving A*s in biology and
maths and As in chemistry.
They each applied to five
universities and said it was “a huge coincidence” that they were both accepted
to CardiffThey were called for interview on the same day and received their
offers at the same time, after helping each other prepare for interviews.
There are 300 people in
their year group at university, but they have ended up in the same seminar
group of 10 students.
“It’s nice being together,”
Shailja tells UK Mirror “We walk to lectures together and we revise together –
that might be why we get the same marks.”People do get us mixed up. I think
half of the university has realised we’re twins and the other half hasn’t.”
“Sometimes people come up
to me thinking I’m Anuja and vice versa. Sometimes we play along.
“I’ve had someone say to
me: ‘You’re twins? I didn’t realise!’ Even our friends get us mixed up.”
