Florida triplets just pulled off the ultimate academic hat trick – same perfect GPA, same college, and one prank that fooled every teacher
In perfect sync.
These Florida triplets just pulled off the ultimate academic hat trick, and it’s one for the books. Aiden, Brody, and Colin Aysun weren’t just named valedictorians of their high school – they all earned the exact same perfect Grade Point Average. Now, they’re heading to the same college together, and they’ve got a prankster streak that had their teachers fooled for years.
According to People, the brothers, who just graduated from Oviedo High School in Oviedo, Florida, will all be packing their bags for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) this fall. They’ve spent their entire lives side by side, and it’s clear that bond has been a huge part of their success. Aiden jokingly said, “Once we were out of labor, our parents painted our toenails to tell us apart. Because I mean, there’s no way to tell them apart,” he said.
The triplets admitted to pulling a few pranks on their teachers over the years. “We would have this bit more in middle school and elementary school, but on April Fool’s Day, we would all switch classes and then would like fool the teachers,” Aiden explained. It’s the kind of mischief that probably kept their teachers on their toes, but it’s also a testament to how in sync the brothers are.
They are each other’s source of strength and support
For Brody, having his brothers by his side has made new experiences a lot less intimidating. “Whenever we would go somewhere new or meet new people, I would always have these guys,” he said. “So when we go to our first day of school, and all the other kids are nervous, just having these guys next to me is really comforting.” That kind of support system shows the Aysun brothers have leaned on each other every step of the way.
The triplets have often been in the same classes throughout high school, and they say that dynamic has been more collaborative than competitive. “I mean, it’s kind of nice,” Colin said. “We help with homework, or if we’re struggling. I have two people right here, always.”
Brody added that their relationship isn’t about trying to outdo each other. “It’s not like we’re fighting each other. ‘Oh, I want to be better than Aiden or Brody.’ It’s more like I just want to compete for the sake of that,” he said. “We’re all trying to compete with each other, so I think that fosters a good dynamic. It’s more collaborative than competitive.”
Their approach to academics is pretty straightforward
“I guess we just study hard. We help each other out, and then we just try to learn the most because we take the same classes. If we get all A’s, we’ll have the same GPA,” Aiden explained. It’s a strategy that clearly worked, and now they’re all heading to Massachusetts Institute of Technology together.
The brothers are planning to study mechanical engineering, computer science, and aerospace, and Colin even mentioned he’d love to start a business with his brothers someday. “I would really like to do a startup, maybe with these guys,” he said.
The triplets also credit their parents for giving them the opportunities to chase their dreams. “They sacrificed so much for us,” Colin said. “We had the privilege of chasing our dreams. They exposed us to everything, to many clubs when we were little. So I really wanna thank my mom and dad for doing that.”
The triplets are known for their love of running
The Aysun brothers have also made a name for themselves in the world of competitive running. They’ve been running together since elementary school, and their passion for the sport has only grown over the years. Brody even mentioned that he joined a run club in elementary school and fell in love with running ever since. Their dedication paid off, as they helped their high school’s boys varsity track team place 16th nationwide in cross-country with an impressive team average of 15:17.
This season, the brothers carried that momentum into track, finishing as runner-ups at the Seminole Athletic Conference and champions for District 3 at East River. Brody said, “I finished better than expected [at regionals] and made it to states more comfortably than I thought I would.” Aiden echoed that sentiment, adding that their team’s unity has been a driving force behind their success.
Colin, however, faced some challenges this season due to health concerns. Aiden admitted he was nervous about how Colin’s sickness might affect his performance at regionals. “I was confident in my abilities but scared for Colin. Although Colin is seeded second in the state for the two-mile and mile [races], I wasn’t sure how his sickness would affect his performance … I wasn’t expecting Colin to not qualify for states,” Aiden said.
Despite the setback, Colin’s resilience shone through. “Some days you have it, some days you don’t, all you can do is just go with what your body gives you on the day,” he said.
