AUSTIN, Texas -- One of George W. Bush's twin daughters plans to continue the family tradition by attending Yale University in the fall, while the other will stay home to study at the University of Texas at Austin.
The fraternal twins, 18, graduate next week from Stephen F. Austin High, a public school.
Barbara Pierce Bush, named for her paternal grandmother, has been accepted and plans to attend the Ivy League school in New Haven, Conn., said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy.
No other information was available, he said.
"The university is delighted she will attend," Conroy said.
Bush, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, received an undergraduate degree from Yale in 1968. His father, former President Bush, and grandfather also attended the school.
Bush's other daughter, Jenna Welch Bush, named for her maternal grandmother, will attend UT, the state's largest university with more than 49,000 students.
