Twins reveal they gained admission into Harvard because they’re related to Bob Marley (Video)
A set of Black American twins known as Chloe and Ariel, have revealed the unbelievably interesting reason that Harvard University granted them admission.
The siblings, a boy and girl claimed that they are related to late Jamaican Reggae star, Bob Marley and it is because of their family ties that they now study at Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA.
Chloe and Ariel made the revelation in a trending TikTok video when a fellow student at the prestigious institution was asking black students how they gained admission.
Some of the others also revealed that their parents either made donations to the institution, own companies or are juggernauts in their chosen careers.
Most of the undergraduates said for them to be considered, they had to either get really high grades, found a non-profit organisation or volunteer at one and be a legacy – related to someone notable/wealthy in society.
The student and content creator known as Kool Kid did the interview to shine light on the criteria many black students would have to fulfill for them to be admitted at Harvard.
