agree with the other comment, you clearly don't have twins. Yes they are individuals and in alot of cases such as mine, very different, but being a twin is not the same as being one year apart. Its just not.

??? if he does not want to attend, why did he apply and take up a spot????

They are both expecting to have to write dozens of additional supplemental essays over the break.

well, maybe your deferred kid will wind up better off in the end, if it was the "easier to get into" school and not necessarily his first choice. he will get to see what his options are.

Thank you. We are having a rough week. One was deferred at two places and the other was rejected from one place. Both worked very hard on their essays and ECs and now will not get to go anywhere over the break (which I know, sounds like a very privileged thing to say, but their friends who got in ED are taking off on international trips).

I have twin boys (fraternal) one got into his school ED and the other was deferred (different schools). The one who got in though it was pretty much a target school. The one who was deferred it was a reach. The one who was deferred got into one school already, so that helps, and is waiting on a bunch more. I think he was expecting not to get in ED so prepared himself. One of the schools he is applying to RD is the same school where his twin got in ED. Since he already got into one school he likes, he has decided not to ED2 and let the chips fall where they may on a bunch of different schools.
