[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have b/g twins who just graduated college this spring and did attend the same School. They are very different and had different strenghts and interests but interestinly their scores were nearly the same (their PSAT was identical!)and they both had high GPA's but one was top 10 ranked and the other was in the top 25 of their class of 400+.

We traveled a fair bit and everytime we were near a college, we drove through it, visited the bookstore, checked it out. We were doing this as early as sophmore year in HS, just as it was convenient. I think we visited Yale when we were in CT for Christmas maybe even before that - and Yale was never going to be viable LOL but seeing all those campuses gave them ideas of what they liked and didn't like. We only did two formal tours.

They both chose to ED even though the rest of their lists varied significantly and they did get in, thankfully, though the lower stat twin was very anxious about it, they also had some good backup plans and felt that it wasn't going to be the end fo the world if they didn't get in. They had also already been accepted EA at other places so that took the burden off.

This was in 2020 application cycle and I will say that being a twin and applying ED absolutely helped my lower stat twin get in. Now, yes, sure things may have changed since but I know that it had a positive effect.

I find this post helpful, but also 2020 was a very different year for college acceptances (as well as everything else)[/quote]
