Is it just my high school?

People don’t apply to selective colleges at my school, but when they ask me what I got on the ACT and I tell them, they say things like, “You could get into Harvard!”
And then I explain that that isn’t how it works, and they tell me I just have low self-esteem and need to have more confidence.

So they have those kinds of beliefs, but they’re not being put into practice.
