[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I can relate as I am pissed also.  I have twins that applied this cycle.  One was accepted at DH's alma mater with an acceptance letter that specifically called out our family's history with that college.  The other one was rejected outright.  Very similar profiles and all other colleges treated them the same, so we were all shocked.  We are pissed and will not give them another cent.[/quote]

Were they the same academically?

I have twins who applied 2 cycles ago. The college took the academically weaker one and not the stronger one. Then the hard stuff continued with the admitted one going to accepted student events, moving into the school, wearing the gear, us going to parent stuff, etc. It was hard. I wish they would have rejected both-everyone would have taken the rejection in stride, moved on right away and never thought about that school again. But it's very hard for a family to balance the celebration with the rejection. It got better but not for a good 9 months to a year when the second twin settled into their school.

I get that schools don't owe twins anything. But my advice would be to never, ever, ever, let your twins ED to the same school. It's not worth the potential issues. Frankly, they should not RD the same school either. It's very hard when they both like the same place but in retrospect we would have insisted on it.[/quote]
