Although Kat kicked off her high school senior year only a few months ago, she’s already started the college application process. Heather confirmed this during a recent interview with BravoTV.com, saying her daughter planned to study filmmaking.

“So Kat is going to be a senior in high school. She wants to go to school for film, so she’s applying now,” Heather said before recognizing Kat’s impressive achievement. “The Academy, that does the Oscars, the Academy does a teen film series and her film got accepted into that, which is so exciting.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Heather provided a few updates on her 20-year-old twins Nick and Max Dubrow, who just entered their third year in college. 

“Max is studying psychology. She doesn’t know what she wants to do yet,” Heather said about her oldest daughter, who attends Tufts University in Boston. “Maybe law school. She also sings.” 

Heather also revealed that Max and Nick would study abroad this year. The former will spend a semester in Paris, while the latter — a junior at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles — is currently studying in Florence

“Nicky got his real estate license,” Heather continued. “He made his first sale. He interned with Josh Altman last year. And this year he’s working in production a little bit. He’s really just trying to get a flavor of all different careers and see what he loves.”
