Twins?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>My brother and I both have 2400 on SAT's, 4 800's on SAT II's, and both are valedictorians for our high school with a 4.00 unweighted GPA. We also have set up are own club that allows Hispanics and Caucasians to interact. We have won numerous national awards in math and science and have won awards in ISEF. However, is Harvard going to accept one twin over the other? If twins apply to the same school, are the chances of both of us getting in significantly lower or significantly higher than that of the typical applicant who applies to harvard?</p>

<p>Harvard class of '08 has at least one set of identical twins that I know of. So Harvard is apparently willing to take both if both if the circumstances are right.</p>

<p>Some schools have multiple valedictorians.</p>

<p>I know of a pair of identical twins that went to the same school who are both here right now (they are a year above me). You can't tell they're twins though; their personalities are so different!</p>

<p>Likewise, I know a set of fraternal twins here. If anything, it probably helps; I think they understand that twins who apply to the same schools are more likely to enroll if both of them are accepted.</p>

<p>ok, so you guys EACH setup your own club that does the samething?</p>

8

<p>no they're prolly co-founders of the same club or something.</p>

<p>don't think so, at least not from his post:</p>

<p>"We also have set up are own club"</p>

<p>The class of 08 has at least three sets if not four sets....my daughter rooms with one of the twins, and is really good friends with another set. Your chances may be better then you think!</p>

<p>Harvard's class of 2007 also had quite a few sets of twins - at least 3, maybe more.</p>

<p>I know a set of twins that are here...but I also know one girl who is here, but her twin is at Stanford since Harvard did not accept her. Who knows, it probably depends on the people!</p>
