The 2025 kids are twins?  Applied to many of same schools?[/quote]
Yes, twins. Very complementary personalities, and very close, but they approached the process independently, as in "I want to go to the best school for me. If we end up going to the same school, great; if different schools, great.", but what they wanted out of a school/community overlapped a lot (focus on undergraduate teaching with strong academics, friendly student body, strong student/professor relationships). Although their early lists had some variability, in the end they applied to the same 8 schools, with D applying to two extra, as it's harder for girls to stand out. (Turns out those two were both WLs, so that strategy didn't quite work out.) Acceptances were basically the same (S in to one extra, but could be due to major, ECs, other factors, as much as gender; hard to say). Their personal rankings of accepted school lists ended up the same as well, and they'll be at the same school in the fall. (Although we wanted them to feel free to go to different schools, as we get ready for move-in I'm grateful for the simplified logistics of them being at the same place!)[/quote]
