Hi,
However, I am quite worried that if both of us apply to the same school this year, one of us will get rejected since our profiles are too similar, with same undergraduate major, same age, similar working years of experience, similar GPAs, similar type of work experience. What do you think?
My advice to you is the same that I gave to Alain. You and your friend have different enoughy profiles that no application reader will simply treat the two of you as being the same person. I can almost guarantee you that, given the number of applications that each school receives, there will be other applicants who sound MORE like your friend than you do! Realistically, there's little chance that your application will have an effect on your friend's chances, and vice versa.
If you're really worried about it, the two if you could agree to apply in different application rounds (Round 1 and Round 2 are considered pretty much the same), but I really don't think that this is necessary.
Good luck!
Scott
