** DoubleSubverted with Alexis. She initially applies for early admission to Stanford, trying to follow her then-boyfriend there, but is rejected. She applies again the next semester and is accepted. But by that point she's broken up with the aforementioned boyfriend and ends up attending Columbia beginning in season 5. {{Justified}} here since Castle [[{{Fiction500}} made millions writing mystery novels]], though Alexis is an ambitious straight-A student who would almost certainly qualify for a full ride scholarship if they couldn't afford the tuition.

* Later seasons of ''{{Series/Degrassi|TheNextGeneration}}'' have turned into this, despite [[ShapedLikeItself most Canadian students preferring Canadian universities]] if only because of lower tuition costs or not having to take the UsefulNotes/SATs to get acceptance to Canadian universities.

* ''Series/ModernFamily'' has Alex Dunphy applying to every prestigious, impossible-to-get-into school you could think of including Harvard, MIT, Caltech and Princeton. Subverted though in a season 6 episode when she learns she got rejected from Harvard.
