Brenda, who plans to become a doctor, graduated from Harvard with a degree in cognitive neuroscience. Lindsay graduated from Brown University with a degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering and plans on pursuing a PhD. <br>How did the Taylor twins achieve such success? Did supportive parents set them on their paths? Or is there something unique in their genetic makeup? Here is their story.<br><br>Great Expectations<br><br>When they were 10, the Taylors moved to Boone, a small town in the mountains of North Carolina. Says Lindsay,  Boone has hiking trails, gorgeous waterfalls, great lakes to swim in and streams to jump into---that s a lot of what we did growing up. Says Brenda,  I remember when we moved to Boone that Lindsay and I were amazed because there were cows grazing in people s yards. We weren t really sure what to make of that. <br> As for formal physical activities, the twins were gymnasts from the age of six, but their height became an issue because they, as Brenda says,  started breaking equipment.
