<p>I have read on multiple sites that schools will accept twins with the same statistics if they are both high candidates. My twin sister and I have relatively equal stats, but hers are usually above mine. I got a 2140 SAT, she got a 2330. She is valedictorian and I am 2nd of 3rd in the class (out of a little over 400 students). We have the same great and extensive extracurriculars and have a huge passion for theater. The only thing I have that is "better" than hers is my AP tet scores (5 on calc, 4 on euro. Only taken two because of available classes. I am 2 years ahead in math of my classmates.) We have both taken 13+ honors classes and 6 AP classes by end of senior year. Duke is our dream school. I was wondering if you think they will be inclined to accept her, but not me. I know it's a long shot to be accepted, but would they accept her and not me because of the difference in our statistics? Any insight would be helpful! Thanks</p>
<p>I have actually heard that pairs of twins are considered dependently, and that they would probably accept/reject both of you. If I had to guess though, I would think with those credentials you should both be in good shape for Duke.</p>
<p>They probably would be inclined to accept her, and then figure they might as well accept you too. Also, you could always retake it if you feel insecure about it.</p>
<p>I have heard similar things to what Folton17 said. I think as long as your SAT and GPA’s are relatively close they will consider you as a package bunch, meaning the twin with the lower scores will often benefit.
I’m a twin myself and I was hoping to ride my brother’s coat-tails, unfortunately I got the higher SAT score and he got a higher GPA, so we ended up about the same.</p>
<p>Thanks so much, both of you just calmed my nerves completely 
Our GPAs are a bit different, but practically the same unweighted (mine: UW 3.96, W: 4.55; hers UW 3.98, W: 4.65)</p>
