The movie Prom Pact, about high school students fretting about the prom, debuted on Disney Channel March 30, and starts on Disney Plus March 31. The main character, Mandy, for her part, thinks more about getting into Harvard than going to the prom.
If you think you’ve seen a main character obsessed with going to Harvard before, you probably have. Rory from Gilmore Girls spoke endlessly of getting into Harvard, often from a bedroom decked out in Harvard posters. Her frenemy at Chilton Preparatory School, Paris, was perhaps even more obsessed with Harvard. In Legally Blonde, Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods sees getting into Harvard Law as the only way to win back boyfriend Warner.
