Triplet Dad Dec 2022 1:04pm, 30 Dec 2022 2,684 posts	0 Triplet Dad It's been a while since I've been on here so my three are now 17 (18 in June). We've been through the first round of highers exams last summer and we're just waiting on university offers now. #1 should be getting an unconditional offer and the other two should be getting conditional offers but are taking several highers/advanced highers/NPAs which if they keep working should be enough to lift their grades sufficiently to get them the courses they want. All 3 want the campus experience for year 1 at least so this time next year it will be a much quieter house. Not sure I'm quite ready for that yet.
