<p>Just out of curiosity, have they both chosen Brown ED because they want to stay together, or because they chose the school independently of each other and really love it? I’m not saying they don’t like it, but I"ve just noticed that a lot of twins try to stay together for college (purely anecdotal). Anyway, I’m just curious.</p>

<p>Why is one of your child in public school and the other in private?</p>

<p>Also, is it both their choice to go to Brown solely based on what they want, or did you chime in your opinions?</p>

4

<p>I will try to answer both questions. Both independently viewed Brown and really liked Brown more than any other school they visited. As far as the public/private question, my son was recruited by a top academic/athletic prep school for basketball, it was a good decision for him to move to this private school academically and athletically.</p>

5

<p>is your son good enough to get recruited to play for Brown? For a bball recruit, he definitely has the academic numbers to get in.</p>

6

<p>Yes, he may be good enough to get recruited, he is in touch with the coach. What are your thoughts about my daughter?</p>

7

<p>Could she get recruited for swimming or crew?</p>

8

<p>Recruitable or not, both have good chances just by looking at what you gave us.</p>

9

<p>Wow, you sure lucked out in the EVERYTHING department with those two. lol.</p>

<p>Your son probably has a better chance than your daughter because of basketball, and that’s if he’s recruited.</p>

<p>I just read an article in today’s USA Today about twins and college admission. It said that some colleges won’t separate twins, so if they will accept one they will accept the other – or if they won’t accept one, they won’t accept the other. I don’t know Brown’s policy on that</p>

11

<p>^^Probably not the case, IMO. Um…your chances are 23.9322%</p>

12

<p>Interesting! A lower GPA with higher test score and a higher GPA with lower test score. I would say the GPA are little bit low for both of them. Are they weighted or unweighted?</p>

13

<p>The GPAs are both unweighted as both of their schools do not have the weighted GPA. Additionally both my son and daughter are in contact with the Brown coaches, she for Crew and he for basketball.</p>

<p>Hey if anyone could copy and paste that article from USA Today called “College choice can be a twin dilemma” about twin college acceptances I would be ever so grateful (I am a twin).</p>

15

<p>what’s up with twins and brown…haha</p>

<p>there are two different threads going now…lol</p>
