At my school:

1 kid who thinks he’s a sure bet for Princeton even though he has a 1780 SAT, he’s actually researching the housing and dorms there
5 kids who applied to every Ivy and are worried about how they will be able to choose from all of their acceptances, despite the fact that they all have <2000 SATs and did almost no EC’s, nevermind the fact that they’re boring
1 kid who applied to Washington University in St. Louis as his safety school, despite the fact that he has a 30ish ACT and also did nothing interesting

I could go on and on…
