Normal for students to strike out at a target?

I see a lot of split sentiment at a lot of target schools (non HYPSM/W) that "everyone who seriously recruits for IB makes it" vs "only 3/5 of my classmates who seriously recruit make it" idk who to believe, placement numbers aren't very helpful because you don't know the number of people who seriously recruit and some of these numbers are way off/count placements outside of IBD
