Can't even lie, if you have a URM for a twin brother and it worked then good for you!

Yeah, I can read.
My point is that if you *both* are URM, then why are you worrying.
You could probably not even write a personal statement and get in!

What makes us URM? My impression is that URM status is based off ethnicity

Lol yea I know, my joke was directed at the other person who thinks URM's don't write PS.
It's a good start to making things more fair because of all the racism.

Are you also overlapping in some aspects of your application?

Our application is basically a duplicate of one another. Just a couple of grade differences here and there.. Will be interesting to see what our MCAT scores are.
Bright side is that it's always an icebreaker!
@libertyyne what I think of 24/7 hahahaha

This situation has happened before. Last year two siblings applied to a med school. Both got interviews. One sibling was admitted, the other waitlisted. Awkward...? The second one never got off the waitlist and is now doing a one year masters.
Doesn't hurt, doesn't help.

Depending on how MCATs come back you could end up with very different school lists.
Although it sounds like you've performed similarly in most of the same classes and are probably similar in natural abilities so that may not happen.
As a fellow identical twin, I would find that a bit odd and cliched to have not even attempted to establish your own identity, but I guess I'm not on an adcom so my opinion counts for jack.
I imagine if you apply to the same places you will likely be viewed as a package deal given the similarities in your application. That can work in your favor sometimes and probably against you as well depending on the situation.
You must think that all black and hispanic doctors are worthless. That they did not work hard to earn their spots, and that you are somehow better equipped than they are.
In B4 "I am a doctor and treat everyone with respect - you mistafab know nothing and are an imbecile." Yeah doc, I doubt it.

Just because we have similar stats doesn't mean at all that we are the same person. Yes we have similar clinical hours, research etc but the different people we've interacted with, the different kinds of friends we have or the hobbies we spend our time in makes us different. You're right about the package favor as it may or may not work but you're wrong in saying that we don't have our own identities just because of a sentence I said.
I've seen every permutation of twin (and triplet) application.
As long as you are open to differing outcomes you will be fine.

I'm pretty sure the guy you're responding to was being facetious..
Thanks for going up to bat for him.
Last thing URMs need are people, jokingly or not, grooming the next generation of doctors to have chips on their shoulder about minorities.
