<p>Does being a twin help in the admissions process?
or triplet, quadruplet etc.</p>
<p>Why would it have any effect on admission whatsoever?</p>
<p>..... it seems like everyone wants a slice of diversity pie</p>
<p>idk, i was just wondering haha</p>
<p>omg what are the odds they'd accept both twins to HYPSM??? or any really competitive school for that matter....</p>
<p>You can make it help by writing a good essay about being a twin.</p>
<p>how about the smart twin takes the SAT for you...then it will make a difference in the admissions process ;-)</p>
<p>Like in Sister Sister.</p>
<p>I know twin sisters who are at Emory together. They were smart, but I'm surprised that both were accepted.</p>
<p>A family at my church has twin sons who are both at Princeton. It can happen.</p>
<p>My tour guide at Skidmore goes, "By the way, I have a twin brother also at Skidmore. So if you see a guy that looks exactly like me, but isn't..."</p>
<p>im twin..
nothing affects it..i guess..
the only univ that both of us apply is cuny baruch and we havent heard anything..
but,,before,in school,,nothing affect our aceptance though we're always went to same schools.</p>
<p>I'm a quadruplet. We all got into Berkeley. I have no clue if being a quadruplet had anything to do with it, we all have good grades, and are involved.</p>
<p>I wrote an essay on how being a quadruplet has given me different experiences in my life than what many people experience.</p>
<p>having a twin has no real benefits maybe a little extra financial aid....but nobody has special twin benefits, they just calculate it as the fact that your family has 2 children in skool.</p>
<p>When I was in school (William & Mary, Class of '83) I had a fraternity brother who was nicknamed Beautiful Bob because he was male model good looking. In fact, he had worked during high school as a model, and, I've heard, that after graduation, he went back to it. </p>
<p>Anyway, Beautiful Bob had an identical twin brother who went to Notre Dame. One summer I was working as a counselor at a summer camp for high school yearbook staff held on the William & Mary campus and a couple of the other counselors were from Notre Dame. I was hanging out with them one day, and I mentioned my fraternity brother and how he had a twin brother at Notre Dame and how he was male model good looking and the two Notre Dame girls, in unison, shouted "Jockey Underwear!" It turns out they knew who he was, had seen him around campus, and that their nickname for him was "Jockey Underwear" because he looked like he should be in an ad for Jockey.</p>
<p>It turns out that twin connection will follow you even if you go to different colleges.</p>
<p>in theory it should have no effect at all</p>
<p>but consider the fact that college admissions people in general tend to be the more sympathetic, emotional kind
and then consider the emotional effect of having one twin/triplet/quadruplet admitted to an elite university while the other(s) is/are denied.</p>
<p>I know twins who both got accepted to bowden.</p>
<p>^Don't you mean Bowdoin?</p>
<p>Anyway, I always did wonder whether being a twin, triplet, or quadruplet help in admissions. I guess it can be considered diverse to an extent. I'm sure colleges will find it cool to have two, three, or four of a kind in their campus. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I know some twins who were both admitted to Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Duke actually asks if you're a twin (and if you're both applying).</p>
<p>Supposedly they're very sympathetic about it.</p>
