<p>I've got twins, both boys, who are seniors with essentially the identical stats in terms of GPA, test scores, ECs, etc. It's been a rollercoaster in terms of college acceptances/denials. One week, one of the boys is feeling great because the cards are falling his way, the next week, the other one feels better. So far, one is in three schools (1 safety, 1 match and 1 kind of a reach). The other is in his match so far, and that's it.</p>
<p>In the next week, we're going to be hearing back from all the schools they applied to (one applied to 10, the other to 13). Some of the schools are the same, some are different. I'm terrified of hearing the decisions. What if one gets into all of his schools and the other gets into none?</p>
<p>I was last year. Having twins go through adds a whole new level of anxiety because you aren’t just worried about the results one gets you are also worried how the other will react to the results of her/his sibling. Then there is the whole same school/different school debate which, if you are like me has been going on since your boys were juniors. </p>
<p>Best of luck for continued good results for your boys. Come back here if you need to share :)</p>
<p>I have twin girls applying. They applied to some of the same schools, some different. One, because of opportunities that she had (internships, etc.) applied to more reaches, one her sister did with her, the other two she didn’t. I think in part, it was because she wasn’t passionately interested, but also not to hurt her sister’s chances. You hear different things with twins, they help the slightly weaker one, they hurt them, etc. with dual applications, but it was her call. She never said this, but I know her. Their GPA’s were pretty much the same, scores close, EC’s a bit lopsided.
So far they got into the same safety/matches, but they have a few more to go, one about 6, one 2.</p>
<p>I am interested to see how the FA goes with twins. Some say schools give less when both are at the same college, some say it’s the same.</p>
<p>twins here, too. So far, it’s been fine, with early acceptances softening the blow of rejections to come. They applied to three schools in common, but don’t want to attend together. Luckily, I think that their choices will not clash, but we’ll have to see. </p>
<p>Frankly, the harder day was the one when one passed the driver’s test, but the other didn’t!</p>
<p>Mom of twin boys here. Mine present different academic profiles, and have mostly applied to very different colleges since their current career goals couldn’t be more different. They do have two overlaps. I do have a great concern about what will be forthcoming in the next 10 days. I’d like to see them both have good choices, obviously.</p>
