Wonderful tongue in cheek title thread by he words of @ eightytwenty.
Soooooo our thread started out back in March 2022 when our dc were Oxbridge wannabes. After thousands of posts by their nervous Mums, nail biting, discussing applications, grades, will they get to interview won't they, debates such as private vrs state, the Scottish system, then some got rejected and some had interviews and entrance assessments then much more nail biting and eating and drinking a lot and a loooong wait over Xmas 2021 the remainders were then rejected. Then more nail biting for offers to come in from the competitive Unis they had applied to with some ending up with only one or two options - our Covid Kids had it tough.
Finally May came and their actual A-levels then the brutal wait for results. I don't think I can recall any of our DC not getting their first choice?
Lots of DC off to top Unis and achieving the best grades in the land. My DD is off to Bath to do Politics and IR and I am incredibly proud of her, she is a grafter not naturally super clever but loves to learn and god I am going to miss her but she is ready and so I happy for her 😥
So please carry on our lovely supportive thread so we can see where their journeys take them.

@Geamhradh Are you planning on coming over with DD? I seem to think not, I think you mentioned they have put on travel for the International students. DD arrives on 24th September so very excited to meet up with her new found Politics buddy, I hope it will make the transition easier having a couple of familiar faces! DD is in Italy right now with her Father, just arrived this morning after flying into Switzerland last night.
