[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens all the time in admissions offices. More frequently, you will see them accept one child and not the other and have the parent decline the offer for the one child.

If the child that is admissible is someone the admissions office REALLY wants, you may see a little more leeway on the second child because of parents' general tendency to prefer that they only commute to one school.[/quote]

I agree that this can happen. I have two different friends with twins who applied to the same large popular private last year. Both sets of twins have one child that's quirky, ADHD, and needing a little extra support, but they look very similar on paper. The other twin in one set is a top student, high grades from middle school, and did well on entrance exams, while the other twin in the second set of twins is a more average student. The set of twins with the high achieving student both were accepted, the other set saw one admitted and the other rejected. [/quote]
