Twins applying to same schools?

Applying to College
1

<p>My twin likes the same schools as me and plans on applying to the same schools. Are twins looked at any differently than 2 non related applicants? Our stats are quite different, but I am just wondering if it is possible that a school would admit us both or deny us both based on the fact that we are related. I wouldn't think this would happen, but you never know. </p>

<p>Nope. I’ve seen two twins in particular who were quite strong as applicants get rejected by different schools yet, at the same time, get accepted into many of the same ones. They’re both going to Princeton in the fall.</p>

<p>If both students are equally talented and qualified, colleges tend not to want split up twins. You can find many articles about twins getting accepted to the same college. See: </p>

<p>That said, if your stats are quite different, I would not expect that you would both be admitted to the same college.</p>
