[quote=Anonymous]Parent of b/g twins who are in their 1st year of college. They had some overlap in the schools they applied to but also some separate schools. Throughout the process we talked about how doing well in high school is just the ticket to the lottery- crazy things happen in applications and you want to give yourself the best chance possible to be accepted but fundamentally it's not personal.

They understood their applications each had differentiators but also strengths-- ECs, rigor, grades, etc. They ended up at very different places but both are super happy. FWIW, they both ended up at their "2nd choice" school after being denied at their ED school.

The twin that might reasonably be classified as having less "rigor" in high school is actually KILLING it college in all the ways- grades, involvement, etc, so you just can't predict.

At the end of the day with all of this, you want your kids to each be excited to move into what ever school they are going to. Twin parenting is a special kind of angst and I feel you. GL![/quote]
