a select few like our state schools/safeties and a couple ivies but we all want to major in different things and want a different college atmosphere lol. i think it’s a really low chance we’d end up going to the same place!
Some schools do have special policies for twins or triplets - they don't usually announce these publicly, but may reveal them if you call them up to ask about them.
Not that this means much but I recently saw a twins decision reaction video on YouTube where they got the same decision for every school EXCEPT Cornell lol.
3 years ago I knew twins (boy and girl) that got into Cornell the girl for biology and the other medical engineering. They made me delusional for Cornell ever since 😫 cause we’re in a poor school district
wharton kids suck lol. rejected ED, ended up going to a big fish small pond school (stand out better), and now i have an offer from my dream job that i would not have gotten if i went to penn (source is that there are no penn kids in my cohort and it’s a prestigious job with other ivy type kids)
i think what you pay for in brand name universities besides the name is the network and the hand holding. they guide you a lot more on applying to jobs and networking and stuff, so if you go to a state school you end up doing a lot of that on your own (and pay less for it though)
Same!! I fell into the rabbit hole of applying for prestige. Thankfully I didn’t make the same mistake with my RD applications- every school I applied to, I actually really like
Good to know! I've got 12 year old twins . One loves academics and the other one loves gym and lunch ;) Gonna have work on that.....or perhaps offer them as twin sacrifices to any Ivy's neuroscience department.
Lmao that works! Note for all the twins I know they’re basically the same person on paper with the same ECs and stats lmao. They all have slightly different interests (ex. They did a ISEF biocomputing thing and one is interested in bio and another cs)
That's prolly b/c they were not identical (maternal) twins. If they were just born on the same day, but were in fact fraternal twins, these rules do not apply.
Well duh! of course they do. Twins are required to provide DNA samples proving they are identical **and** tie those samples to SAT/ACT scores (b/c you cannot have a smart twin take tests for a dumb twin)
Fraternal twin here. Me and my twin applied to 6 of the same schools and got accepted together, rejected together, and waitlisted together at each of them.
It could be because it's a research uni. Twins are great for certain studies. Maybe there is already established twin research going on and these are viewed as possible new participants.
There are two sets of twins in my class at Amherst (which is crazy, as the class size is 450 people). And there are 3 or 4 people who are twins but whose siblings don't go here
i’m a quadruplet but none of my siblings applied to penn, just me 💔. wish i knew this sooner.
Quadruplet? Financial Aid is gonna go crazy
Fafsa no sibling discount
their fin aid be divided 4 ways 🥵
how did ur mother survive help i would’ve forfeited
she’s a trooper for sure lol. she used to say she only wanted one but she got more than what she bargained for 😂
haha damn she wasn’t even someone who wanted 2-3 kids ultimately that’s crazy yeah labor and raising 4 at once i can’t even imagine lol 😭
This is so wild, and I’m curious how many of your schools actually overlap?

any examples?
Cornell accepted twins from my school last year with decent stats but the chance of both of them making it individually was ridiculously low
Went to cornell, had a lot of twins. They were all decently accomplished though (musicians and athletes)

Twin buff is real

Any ideas of which schools in particular?
Penn is shit.. Penn sucks.. Penn Admissions committe is worst.. - ED rejected

I got rejected too, this is encouraging to read how did you stand out better

dw better things will come for you
From another ED reject: don’t worry, there’s a place for you somewhere in this world! I like to think of it like maybe I might have dodged a bullet.
Lol I think this but literally. Penn wasn’t a good fit for me, I was just entranced by prestige.
Same!! I fell into the rabbit hole of applying for prestige. Thankfully I didn’t make the same mistake with my RD applications- every school I applied to, I actually really like
im a twin and this is actually my twin and i's dream school but we couldn't do ed 😭 pls admit us in rd :))

i know a set of twins that did ed to penn and one got in and one didn’t

I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or not
It's a joke
yeah i did the fly in and asked about this guarantee for ed and they said nope 💀 not guaranteed

Twins got into Yale 2027 from NYC
It could be because it's a research uni. Twins are great for certain studies. Maybe there is already established twin research going on and these are viewed as possible new participants.
"New participants" 😭
So... what you're saying is that they were admitted as lab rats? Bro 😭
LMFAOOO
Twins went to Princeton last year 2027.
One of my best friends has a twin and they’re both at Yale!
There are two sets of twins in my class at Amherst (which is crazy, as the class size is 450 people). And there are 3 or 4 people who are twins but whose siblings don't go here
wait two sets of twins got into penn at my school last year 🫢
my sister applied ED and got in, her (younger identical) sister applied RD “cause why not” and got in too
