Yikes! Interesting certainly, and memorable. But can you explain why it will benefit your colleagues?

Maybe you could tie it in to learning to become self-sufficient?
Or always having to share?
Or either being or not-being ta special snowflake?
Juggling multiple responsibilities looking after pack-o-kids?
Or maybe just about developing patience after years of dealing with stares and rude questions --

Wow.

No, this was a toughie. You really tried. It's pretty good.


I was gonna add that being a twin could lead to interests in genetics/heredity studies, if the OP has engaged in any such studies.

Whatever it is @strugglebus5, you inevitably have to talk about what you have done, and not simply what you are.

great advice already given. i think it's worth writing about, especially if you feel like you have a unique perspective due to your personal experiences. identity formation, independence/dependence, family ties, gosh there are so many possibilities

I am a fraternal twin and my younger siblings are triplets. We are all premed. Do you think I could write a diversity essay about my experiences with so many multiples?

This is different!

Having interests does not bring anything to a class. Having talents does.

"... if the OP has engaged in such studies. "

Thanks everybody!

 

[Lardy Boy]

gonna hitch hike on this thread. What are your thoughts on my diversity essay about my experiences as the gay twin brother?

 

[ortnakas]

Not sure if this counts as diversity (but I'm not an adcom) but it could definitely be an interesting thing to write about!
