[quote=Anonymous]I started a new twins post as I had not seen this one.  As a mom of senior twins I would recommend you start with virtual info sessions and then narrow down possibilities.  I would recommend making an ED choice without visiting but for non binding applications I think it’s fine not to visit before getting admitted.

I would also recommend that your twins do their main essay over the summer and set up their Common App account (filling in what they can such as activities) before the start of senior year.  There are so many supplementals that if you can get the common elements out of the way before Fall that will be helpful.

If you can afford it I would also suggest hiring an essay coach to help your twins lay out supplementals, deadlines and help with editing (many of the supplementals can be repurposed but there are different word counts etc).  We found someone on Wyzart who was great and started meeting with them weekly over the summer.  That will help you not to have to nag (or question) constantly.

The Twin college apps process is more intense than a single kid (I also have an older son so I know) but like anything twin - related if you are organized it really helps!

Not to hijack your thread but my issue now is that one of my twins is in ED and is very happy whereas my other twin was deferred.  He’s not distraught and I really think it’s for the best (his ED choice was really a very last minute decision and I’m not sure it’s the best fit for him). He’s also happy for his brother.  But I know he must not be feeling great and my heart hurts for him.  If any other twin parent can relate I’d love to hear words of wisdom or just support! [/quote]
