Some top students opt to attend a lower-ranked institution because they'll get a lot more financial aid. I went to high school with an incredibly smart girl who got a full ride to the University of Nebraska, and she took it, because they were giving her a whole lot more money than the in-state University of Texas would have! I also knew a guy in college at Ohio State who had gotten into Columbia, but didn't attend because he couldn't afford it, even with financial aid. He was one of the most involved and highly awarded students I knew at Ohio State, and he might not have received all the accolades and opportunities he did if he had gone to Columbia, where he would've had to focus on making enough money to pay for school.
The student in this story didn't get into his dream school, but he still thrived in adulthood. His mom, on the other hand, is still not over his rejection and chooses to lie about it to friends and family.

Am I the bad guy for correcting my mom in front of extended family about why I didn't go to my first choice college?
