<p>im a twin too! (:
we shuold like hav a twin thread hehe(:
how many of us r twins here?</p>
<p>There have been some good threads on this topic before...Parents Forum, I believe. </p>
<p>A few parents had heard from admissions officers that if twins applied, one who would've been accepted regardless and one who was qualified but would've been less likely to get in, the second might be given a bit of a boost. Some parents also noted schools that were more sympathetic than others, or that explicitly said they did/didn't consider multiple status.</p>
<p>I have no experience in this area...can't argue the position...just recalling an interesting thread. Might've been "Parents of twins" or something along those lines. Run a search.</p>
<p>I know two sets of twins, and as it appears, it seems to be a detriment to their application process. Neither sets of twins got accept to the same top universities (ie Chicago, Duke, Norhtwestern, etc). So basically its a shoot or miss situation. but good luck!</p>
<p>CAkid, don't the UCs have a point system for who gets in, based on grades, test scores, extra-curriculars, etc.? </p>
<p>There are so many multiples these days, you can be pretty sure you got in on your own merits, not because you're part of a set. </p>
<p>I do know, however, that some "high profile" multiples have been granted scholarships simply by being born. Doesn't quite seem fair.

<p>I knew 2 girls from a set of quadruplets who went to Emory. I don't think their sister or brother applied--they were not on that level academically. One went to Delaware and one went to Johnson and Wales.</p>
