Friend and I have similar resumes

My friend and I worked at the same small business and co-founded a business together. Needless to say, we have very similar resumes. We also go to the same college and have the same major.... do you think this would be an issue if we applied to the same places?

Thank you for your answers... a bit mixed though. I guess we'll just try to apply to different places to the best of our abilities?

 

Higher gpa wins. Happened to a kid in my school, same ec's, same internship, same majors, interviewed for the same FT jobs, but I only kept seeing one of them in the super days.
