Why would she now want to go to an Ivy League school now?

But what seems to have most offended the academic community is her lampooning of “diversity,” the sacred cow of the modern university world. Sacred cows make tasty burgers. Especially with some blessed cheddar and holy bacon.

Affirmative action has just become more affirmative. This has been going on in the fringes of the admissions stack for decades, and is only becoming downright blatant.
At the same time, I have to question the real value of an education from any institution which would not recognize its admissions are being done for the sake of political expediency and a retributionist agenda rather than on a basis of ability.
What ever happened to the 'content of their character rather than the color of their skin'?

A thread about Ms. Weiss from a few days ago if anyone is interested.
The orginal op-ed from the WSJ.

This girl is awesome and looks like she’s going to nest in the source of the Michigan Affirmative action fight.

What could I have done differently over the past years?
For starters, had I known two years ago what I know now, I would have gladly worn a headdress to school.
Show me to any closet, and I would've happily come out of it.
"Diversity!" I offer about as much diversity as a saltine cracker.
If it were up to me, I would've been any of the diversities: Navajo, Pacific Islander, anything.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, I salute you and your 1/32 Cherokee heritage.

an SAT score of 2120 (out of a maximum 2400) That score is around the 95th percentile of all test takers. Apologies to the young woman but that won't cut it to get into MIT or an Ivy League.

I don’t think there is any way for a “non-diverse” white to get into a Ivy League school, unless one of his parents attended it or has pallets of money with which to “endow” the school.
