I'm gonna take a wild guess and say she got straight A's. So does pretty much everyone applying to an Ivy League school. Meaning that she has that, on top of all her other qualifications, making her a fine candidate indeed. 2+2 = 4. Everyone else has other qualifications as well. And they'll get in if theirs equal or exceed hers, and they may not have even applied to all of those schools, many students just have one school they're dead set on and a couple of fallbacks. If not, they'll be the ones complaining. No, not because of Affirmative Action. The Universities are required to have a certain number of minorities and they will go to great lengths to specifically recruit them and seek them out. These actions inherently lead to non-minority students not getting accepted into the University. I'm not saying she shouldn't attend an Ivy League.
