<p>at the bottom of the Post Decisions thread, I cheered out loud! I can't imagine going through the college admissions process with two at the same time. Two in a row is hard enough to imagine. And of course, special congrats to your daughters, as well. </p>
<p>Seems there are a few other twin parents out there - anyone else whose children were applying this year? Our best to your families too! Hope things turned out well for your kids too.</p>
<p>Not really a parent but I am a twin so I know what parents go through, so congratulations! Here's to hoping getting a double hit of empty nest syndrome won't hurt you too much.</p>
<p>For all of us who were going through this process one kid at a time you probably said ha-ha try doing it with 2 kids. You did and did it well. Great news!! Breathe a momentary sigh of relief. </p>
<p>*Congratulations to Momoftwins D's 1 &2 *</p>
<p>Now come the fun part :) coordinating all of thier stufff and how you are going to get them both to school and praying that their move in dates are not at the same exact time.</p>
<p>I hadn't thought of the instantly empty nest; are there no more at home? Congrats to both, but esp. the new Illini! (I lack the talent to post in orange and blue.) We have two sets of identicals at our HS; all four are headed to the same OOS school!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS, momoftwins, to BOTH of your lovely and accomplished daughters!!!!! SO exciting! I, too, find it so hard to imagine going through this with TWO at ONE TIME! So, tell me, was it harder handling twins as toddlers or as college applicants!? :) </p>
<p>Yes, I still have my son at home although he will be backpacking out west for 8 weeks this summer. He's a high school freshman and I have him around for a few more years, but life will be different that's for sure. At least I can phase this in as the daughter going to West Point reports on 6/27 for Basic Training. Then my young Illini will leave in late August. </p>
<p>Two toddlers were definitely tougher than two teens. The only thing tougher was two babies. </p>
<p>Thanks for all the kind wishes and thoughts. And especially the tips. I look forward to going through the next step of this process with you.</p>
<p>momoftwins congratulations! I had to go thru this 2 yrs in a row, but doing two at a time must have been interesting <em>lol</em> Did they apply to any overlapping schools or were they completely different from the start? (sorry if I've missed discussion of this elsewhere)
best wishes to your girls!!

<p>Congratulations from the other TwinMom. We'll be going through this next year ... and yes, two babies is DEFINITELY the hardest stage, with two teenagers running a close second!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!!!!!!!x 2!!!!!!! They will have two very different experiences, and you will have fun hearing all about them! Will it be hard for them to finally be apart???? I know several sets of twins who have gone on to the same college, so just wondering.</p>
<p>Good luck!! At least you will still have one at home to keep things busy--we have S2 left in the fall, same age as your S!</p>
<p>I think that they will miss each other terribly while apart, but you can probably guess that they are very different from each other. They have had different activities since they were in 1st grade. They have had many common friends, but also different, exclusive friends. They even went to different middle schools and had very different jr. high experiences. So I guess that this is really more of the same.</p>
<p>Looks like we can go through this together in another couple years as our sons start the process. I can't wait (yeah, right!)</p>
