<p>DANBURY, Conn. Ray Crouch, a senior at Danbury High School, logged onto the computer in his family’s living room just after 5 p.m. Tuesday and entered the Web site of the Yale University admissions office.</p>
<p>The screen turned blue Yale blue and an image of a bulldog, the university mascot, appeared, followed by “Welcome to the Class of 2014.” Ray, 18, had been offered a spot in the next freshman class, under its early-admission program. Standing behind him, his mother, Caroline, screamed.</p>
<p>That was only the beginning. Moments later, Ray’s brother, Kenny, also 18, went to the Yale site and got an identical message. He was followed by their sister Carol. Same news. Then the room fell silent. Ray, Kenny and Carol are quadruplets, and their sister Martina had applied to Yale, too.</p>
<p>“I was thinking, it’s going to be really awkward when I don’t get in,” Martina recalled Friday.</p>
<p>But the computer turned blue for her, too, which prompted such an outpouring of joy from their mother that she wrestled their father, Steven, to the floor in a hug.</p>
<p>The Crouches’ perfect batting average represents a first for Yale: the first time in anyone’s memory that it has offered admission to quadruplets. It is also no small milestone for the siblings, who were born more than two months premature. (Ray was the last to be released from the neonatal unit, more than four months later.)</p>
