Cassandra Dean and Alexis Dean are fraternal twins who enrolled at Northeastern University together.

They are both majoring in health sciences as honors students.

Their published study, “ Forging one’s identity as a twin: Balancing sibling cohesion and deidentification,” will be presented at a scholarly conference.

The study found a level of competition between twins that Kramer assessed as constructive and surprising.

Alexis and Cassandra Dean are currently applying to physician assistant programs for fall 2025 .

The Deans say they see the differences between them clearly.

The study is affirming for them as they look ahead to their final year together at Northeastern.
