* IvyLeagueForEveryone: A realistic [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. When applying for college, it's revealed DJ had her heart set on the prestigious, but not Ivy League, Stanford. Despite having a good SAT score, respectable extra-curriculars, a good personality, and an outstanding GPA, she still got rejected. After she mourns, she recognizes that she still got into the only slightly less prestigious Berkeley and is waiting to hear back from other schools.

* ActuallyAGoodIdea: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. When mourning her rejection from Stanford, Stephanie jokingly suggests marrying her rich ex-boyfriend Nelson. DJ quips back that's a good idea with how she's feeling. [[PoorCommunicationKills This, alongside a smudged up note, leads the family to think she actually went through with it, when the note really said that she was going with Nelson in his private jet to stop Kimmy from marrying her boyfriend Duane.]]



--->'''Danny''': Don't get married because you're scared, or because you're trying to run away from your problems... *cast a look at Duane* or because you just want to make sure you have a plumber at two in the morning.

* ComicallySmallBribe: Kimmy attaches a $20 bill with her college application to Stanford in the hope that they'd overlook/ignore her poor academic records and accept her anyway. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome It fails]], and Stanford even sends her rejection letter with $40 and a note saying "[[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Let's pretend this never happened]]".

See this post for why this doesn't fit the trope.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Kimmy's [[FatalFlaw indifference to her education]] causes her to be rejected by every university in California. Stanford even sends her rejection letter with $40 (after [[ComicallySmallBribe she bribed them with a $20]]) and a note saying "[[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Let's pretend this never happened]]". She actually does regret this, both for being a failure and because it means she will be separated from D.J., who, despite also being rejected from Stanford, at least got into Berkley.
