[quote=Anonymous]I want to echo what an earlier PP suggested.  Go back to the schools you applied to and ask them why they felt they could not support your twins.  Do not be adversarial in tone but let them know you are seeking information on what support they may need and how you can go about getting it for the next academic year.  I would also consider reapplying to the schools in another year.  I have twins and they have some similarities to yours but I did a lot of research prior to applying about what kind of student McLean is looking for and developed an ongoing dialogue with the admissions people.  I also got my twins the support they needed (504 Plan) at their public school, was insistent and direct (in a nice way) with the school staff and made clear what I expected of the school in terms of the support for my twins.  They have delivered and I also kept McLean informed of their progress and what was going on during the admissions process.  I believe you have to develop a relationship early with the schools that you are interested in.  I also attended every event McLean offered to the public so I would get as much face time with the admisistrators, who make the decisions.  I felt like in the end they knew mem and family and I knew what McLean had to offer and felt like it was the right fit for the twins.  I am telling you all of this because you cannot give up.,  It is ok to feel momentarily dejected but you owe it to your children to keep fighting for them and get them the help that they need.  I believe you will have a positive outcome if you go back and do some homework and put in line the support that is needed to help your twins.[/quote]
