[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, any of us with more than one kid face this to a certain degree.  My DS has always gotten lower grades and scores than his younger sister.  DD will have a shot at colleges that DS had no chance of getting into.  They're just different people and will have different outcomes, and I think most kids understand this.  I feel like the more the parent agonizes over this, the bigger of a deal the kids sense it is.  [/quote]

nah it's really different with twins. You are going through it at the same time, don't underestimate how hard that is. One kid gets an acceptance, the other kid does not, literally at the same moment. My twins were each in their bedrooms when they got their ED acceptance to the same school. It is very hard to be happy for the one and console the other at literally the same time. Thankfully I didn't have to do that, lucky me! but was dreading it.  If you have kids who are different years, it's a much larger separation mentally for everyone in the house, and you can always say "well when other sibling applied, it was less competitive" etc. There are ways to explain it. In one application cycle, you can't do that.[/quote]
