The triplets, who attended Warners Bay High, have all received offers to study at the University of Newcastle, but in divergent degrees.
Isabella and Kaitlyn woke on Monday to offers for psychological science (advanced) and occupational therapy with honours respectively. Charlotte received an early offer after her last Higher School Certificate exam to study a double law and arts degree.
"It has not really sunk in yet that it will be very different," Charlotte said.
"It will be cool we will all be in different areas. I know we'll all enjoy what we're doing and will learn off each other.
"We'll say 'Did you know this thing or that thing?' We'll have more stories and more things to tell each other."
The girls went on a two week road trip to Coffs Harbour with their friends after finishing their exams.
They were on a cruise with their family coming home from New Caledonia when they got their HSC results and Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks last Tuesday.
Charlotte said they had limited access to the Internet, so had to get friends to log in for them and send them their ATARs.
Charlotte got 92, Isabella got 94.6 and Kaitlyn got 93.6.
Their grandfather bought them cocktails to toast the news.
"I was so relieved because I didn't think I'd get that high, I thought I'd get somewhere between 87 and 92," Charlotte said.
"I'm very happy the whole year of effort was worth it."
