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.

TheVipaGTS 04/06/17 10:10:55 PM #157:	"Hey is this affirmative action" No I don't think it is. Why would you just assume that. "Just look at the facts man! It's likely AA! Can you admit that?" No why would I admit that. She could have gotten in on her merits. Why assume she isn't qualified? "I'm not saying she didn't get in on merits!"

Capn Circus 04/06/17 10:22:45 PM #159:	kewldude475 posted... The topic title asks if she got in because of brilliance or AA. Based on her qualifications, she seems to be quite brilliant. At the very least you can admit that she seems to be a brilliantly hard worker and brilliantly ambitious, and deserves her acceptance into the schools regardless. Sort of.. the topic title asks if her getting admitted into all eight Ivy League schools had something to do with AA. And of course I can admit she probably deserves her place in one, as I've mentioned before. Saying she deserves to be admitted into (an) Ivy League school is simply not what the topic was about or asking. Nor could anyone provide counter facts or adequate arguments to dispute the poll assumptions. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks <cite>Capn Circus posted [p:876697825] in Black girl...

That's fine---we all know AA exists. I just think its sort of silly to 1) recognize AA's existence, 2) support AA, and then 3) deny AA had anything to do with an outcome and exert one is racist for remotely believing so. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks <cite>Capn Circus posted [p:876698299] in Black girl...

Your choice of words also bring light onto your mindset that you cleary don't think a black person is capable of this. The fact that your first suspicion is affirmative action lets me know how you think Affirmative action is a collection of laws and policies. It is not one big federal law that comes with Jail time. At most, a company can get sued for a bullshit amount of money. Most times, if they are punished, it is a slap on the wrist at most. AA is not a strictly enforced policy. Do you really think a school system that prides itself on training the best of the best would admit a dumbass just because she's black??
