Like a lot of movies involving high school, this one seems completely clueless of some of the most basic aspects of high school.
For example, "Homecoming" is depicted as a formal dance, like the Prom or Winter Formal. And also as occurring rough the same time that college applications are being sent out.
Homecoming is an event that occurs during the latter part of football season, in the mid-fall. The dance is usually held following the Homecoming football game, and is typically NOT formal dress.
College applications, on the other hand, are normally done in the spring as much as 5 or 6 months after homecoming, after the SAT test results come in. Most students take the SAT in March.
Screenwriters are either unaware of these things or view them as unimportant, despite the fact that they directly relate to the story they're trying to tell.
