[quote=Anonymous]Parent of twins now in college. Do not have time to run through everything we did, but a couple items:

1. Our twins applied to 12 schools each, 4 of them were in common. I genuinely believe in 1-2 cases of the 4, one twin was shut out and cost both a seat. Not upset or concerned, but you have to keep in mind which major or program they are applying to and whether both are well qualified to make it in.

2. Many schools told us it was both or none. I do not think they want the hassle unless one of the twins is super-extraordinary.

3. They are individuals, not just twins - set them both up to succeed.  Truly research their major at each school and consider that before school name, sports program, weather, etc.

4. Our students go to different colleges and are happy. If either had attend the other twin's college, it would not have worked because their major would have been weaker at that other school.

5. Agreed on starting early, most essays for our students were done over the summer. It made a huge difference and more enjoyable senior year of high school.[/quote]
