[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they apply ED to the same school, keep in mind that one may be admitted without the other. If they are hoping to attend the same school, ED is a mistake because they would give up control of that.[/quote]

Often, the university either accepts/defers/denies both. The stronger twin uplifts the weaker one, if they are slightly imbalanced.[/quote]

Yes, this can be true, but not always.[/quote]

Nothing in college admissions is always true. No need to state the obvious.[/quote]

I am in college counseling. PP is right that schools do a lot of "twin linking" and some schools even read the files together. I think admissions committees don't like splitting twins and if one is a slam dunk and the other borderline, it could help at certain schools. But you are definitely taking a gamble at those same schools because then schools compare the two applicants with the exact same opportunities.

I would not count on it as a strategy.[/quote]
