[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only advice i would give is to encourage them not to ED to the same school, especially if the school is a top20 school. Traditionally colleges tried and rendered the same decision if the twins had the same stats but this seems to have mostly gone away in recent years. I know 2 sets where the weaker twin was accepted and the stronger one not. [b]This is certainly within the college's prerogative to do but made for a very hard year within these families when one kid was going to all the happy, accepted student events for the ED school and the other was not.[/b] I have rising junior twins and we will do our best to encourage them to choose different ED schools.

You know what ? It’s also very, very hard for younger siblings with a sibling only a grade above (or two) to be rejected from that same college. My kids are extremely close and identical academic records/caliber of activities and want to be at the same place.

No one said it wasn't.  🤷🙄

I would say that going through it at the exact same time is much harder which is why colleges tended to admit twins as pairs--not because twins can't bear to be apart for 4 years but because choosing one kid over another when they live in the same house really sucks for both kids.

But OP's post isn't a debate about whether colleges should do this or not and it's certainly their right to do it. College admissions are hard all around.
