[quote=Anonymous][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.

Sorry but with a senior in high school and freshmen in college—there is no way twins should gain some advantage my kids 18 months apart don’t get.

And, with IVF the twin and multiple sib set  has exploded. My kid has multiple, multiple sets in their class. [/quote]
