WATCH: Twins score $24 million in college scholarships

Identical twin sisters who are graduating at the top of their class have received more than $24 million in college scholarships and more than 200 offers from schools.

Denisha and Destiny Caldwell, 18, seniors at Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said they first competed against each other and now compete with each other.

"In the end we said, 'Let's just work together and end at the top," Denisha Caldwell told "Good Morning America." "It's an unbreakable bond. Once you see, me you know you're going to see Destiny."

"There's no separation between us," Destiny Caldwell told "GMA." "We are two hearts apart."
