<p>Hey! Does anybody know what are the chances that both twins will make it into the same school? I'm a twin and I was really hoping to go to the same school my sister. We have almost exactly the same stats and extracurriculars and we are aiming for admissions into Ivy League Schools. Does anybody know of twins who go to any Ivies? Thanks!</p>
<p>Harvard class of '08 has a couple of sets of twins. Not sure about '09. I think MIT '08 had something like seven sets of twins. A couple of years ago Berkeley admitted all three of a set of triplets. It's common for twins to go to the same school, particularly if their stats are pretty close.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon has a set of twins I know of (not exactly Ivy, but close); entered 2 years ago.</p>
<p>me and my twin are both going to ucla</p>
<p>I know identical twins who got into Stanford.</p>
<p>There's at least one set of twins in the Princeton '09 class.</p>
<p>It's possible to both get into the same Ivy. It's also possible that your admission outcomes will be very different. FrecklyBeckly, a poster who graduated h.s. this spring, wrote throughout last year about how she and her twin brother did in admissions. He ended up gettinginto Harvard (where he's going) and other similar places. She got no Ivy admissions, but is now happy at University of Mich.</p>
<p>It might be worth it to you to use the search feature to check out her posts.</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses! They really do help...I was just wondering because a lot of ppl tell me that colleges will either accept both or deny both. My twin and I are hoping for admission to the Brown PLME, which is pretty selective, so Im not sure if the Brown admissions committee would accept both of us especially for that program because we are pretty much identical in stats and extracurriculars. Do you think we have a chance of making it in together or do you think they would just go for the one with slightly higher stats (or maybe the one with the essays they think are better?)</p>
<p>I know a set of twins at UNC Chapel Hill. There's also a set of triplets (they went to my middle school :)) at Duke, all three of which received full scholarships. </p>
<p>Brown PLME may be competitive, but a full-ride to Duke is probably equally so, so I don't see why you both couldn't be admitted.</p>
<p>Personally, I think the chances are slim for both into PLME just because it's so freaking competetive. They offer admission to what, like 50 people a year? So it's not that I think twins can't, but just the fact that 2 people instead of 1 are applying makes it harder</p>

<p>Controversy ensued early this week when Lewis & Clark internal investigations confirmed many students' long-held suspicions: KLC General Manager Dusty Hoesly and ASLC president-elect Cody Hoesly are, in fact, one and the same man. </p>
<p>"I knew something was up when I saw their applications," remarked Dean of Admissions Michael Sexton. "Twins attending the same college? I don't think so." </p>
<p>The investigation was spurred by one student's claim to have seen Hoesly changing from Dusty's signature peacoat/All-Stars outfit to a sport jacket and running shoes, Cody's trademark style. "We just couldn't let Hoesly keep living a lie," said the investigation's leader and ASLC Chief Justice James Christie. "As much as I'd like to have two of them around, it's just not right." </p>
<p>When asked why the attempt to lead two lives was made, the man now simply known as Hoesly replied: "It started as a ploy to get more ice cream when I was a kid. But it quickly became a way to get twice the action." </p>
<p>The Hoesly scam was made somewhat difficult by Cody's plan to attend school in Munich during the Fall of 2000. "I pulled it off, though," remarked Hoesly. "Lots of frequent flyer miles." </p>
<p>The scandal forces Hoesly to decide between the positions of ASLC President and Student Representative, offices to which the brothers were respectively elected. "I don't understand why I can't just keep both. The ASLC bylaws don't say anything about dual identity," he said to Christie. "And you should know what kind of action Council kids get." </p>

<p>I know twins at Northwestern</p>
<p>I was once told that adcoms at universities, realizing how close twins are, do not like to break up twins. So in general, if one is admitted, the other will be admitted too, assuming he/she is qualified.</p>
<p>There were twins at my LAC, too. And another pair where each one went to a different college but of similar quality only 10 miles apart.</p>
<p>I actually got halfway through that article, gsp, before I looked up to check for the April 1st byline. :)</p>
<p>I am good friends with a pair of twins who both got into the exact same schools: Carnegie Mellon and WUSTL. Ultimately, they decided to split up, with one going to Carnegie and one going to WUSTL.</p>
<p>I know twins at Notre Dame.</p>
<p>Yeaaaaa Lisaaaa You Goooo Girl!</p>
<p>you have of chance of getting into the same schools, but the question is, do you have the same interests? For example, would you both enjoy the atmosphere of a Yale or the intellectual experience of someplace like Swarthmore?</p>
<p>It's not really the fact that we want to go together. We don't mind going to different colleges at all. It's just that we both have pretty much the same interests/career objectives and since we have very simliar personalities, we both are looking for the same atmosphere when we go to college. In fact, of all the schools we have visited, we both like the SAME colleges. As of now, we both want to Early Decision to Brown PLME. I was just wondering if its likely that both of us would make it in especially since its so selective. </p>
<p>Im ranked #1 and my twin is ranked #2. I got a 2350 on my SAT and my twin got a 2330. All of our SAT IIs and AP tests are the same (SAT II's: Biology- 800, Chemistry -800, US HIstory: 780, Math IIC- 800) and (AP: Biology- 5, Chemistry-5, US History-5). (How weird is it that we scored the same on these tests, right?) Well, we also have basically the same extracurriculars except for different leadership positions. We are both into acting (National tour of "The King and I"). </p>
<p>Soooo basically, we are pretty much identical. Do you think Brown PLME would accept two of the same ppl??? or would they just accept one (which would really stink for the other)?</p>
