Does having an older sibling at BS lessen your chances at other schools?

<p>So, if everyone hasn't noticed yet, we're getting uncomfortably close to M10. By now, my self-confidence has pretty much reduced to nothing. I've been doubting my applications, my interview, my teacher recommendations... and I've been wondering about my chances at B.S. My sister's at one of the boarding schools, and in my interviews & during my applications, I was asked about which school my sister was in. I established that we're two different individuals and we have disparate interests etc, but maybe that isn't enough? I'm wondering if this would hurt my chances at other schools, since they could assume that I'll just follow in her footsteps?</p>

<p>U say u have have different interests than your sister, but u do not state explicitly that u actually want to go to a different school than your sister. Is that really the case?</p>

<p>Or do u plan to go to the same school as her, but your ego wants acceptances from other schools. </p>

<p>@GMTplus7 I do have different interests than my sister, and I’m not really sure about which school I want to go to. My sister’s school is good, and I really really like it, but I want to keep my options open. I really love all the schools I’m applying to, and the truth is, I’m not sure whether I like my sister’s school MORE than the others. If I get accepted to more than one school, hopefully I can figure something out after revisits.</p>
