<p>I've applied to Princeton via QB and my sister just tacked on Princeton to her list for RD because we have fee waivers and she figured why not. But I'm pretty sure they have an all-or-none twin policy (which is why they asked if I had siblings applying this year on CommonApp) so I'm a little concerned.</p>
<p>I love my sister and she's a great person, but unlike some other twin pairs I've read about on here there's quite a bit of disparity between us academically. Nothing major, but just to give you an idea:</p>
<p>Me:
2330 SAT
Took 11 APs, taking 4/5? (depends if you count PhysC as 1 or 2) + Multivariable/DiffEq
3.90 UW
top 2% out of 688</p>
<p>Sister:
2080 SAT
Took 7 APs, taking 5
3.75 UW
top 8% out of 688</p>
<p>It's the test score difference that worries me, mostly. Hers is a bit on the low end for Princeton. But in our favor we're both low-income Hispanic. My sister's a great writer and wants to pursue Creative Writing/IR. I'm looking to be a physics major.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if I have reason to worry? Might I be rejected because of my sister's stats?</p>
<p>They don’t have a all or nothing twins policy. You’ll rise/fall on your own. Indeed, Pton could pick her while denying you – that’s the nature of holistic admissions. Good luck to both of you</p>
<p>From what I’ve seen, each class at Princeton has quite a few twin pairs. You might even be able to pull your sister up and in, since they seem to like to keep twins together. Also you’re applying via QuestBridge, so by the time her application even gets read, you’ll already have your decision.</p>
<p>I am hesitant to come in here, bump this so far and post information this late in the process that will likley cause some stress, but it must be said:</p>
<p>I am a recent graduate. It is absolutely incorrect to state that Princeton does not have a practice of always admitting both twins if one is admitted. Officially, no, the school does not, but I have never, ever met a multiple-births set where one was admitted and another was not. This goes to extremes - I know at least one twin pairing where one was a recruited athlete and the other, just barely, was not (and they’re good guys, but they needed to be recruited to get in). Both got in. In fact, speculatively, the coach actually used this to his advantage, because the other twin was juuuuust a little bit worse than he’d need to be to get recruited.</p>
<p>You and your sister are both fairly attractive candidates and so I wouldn’t stress about this - more likely I’d say Princeton would let you both in.</p>
<p>I’m just here posting because it’s important for applicants to know the reality. Princeton does have a very distinctive practice when it comes to admitting or not admitting multiple births.</p>
<p>^^ I agree - Most elite schools try not to give “split decisions” on twins when at all possible. So generally it is both or none…unless they have dramatically different stats. This is not written in stone, but more of an unspoken policy</p>
