Yes because otherwise it is unfathomable that a black kid got into such great schools right?  Oh no, wait it's not that at all...[/quote]

Not a Presidential Scholar, either.  No athletics.  Not from a geographic area typically unrepresented at top tier schools.  Class president is great, but not all THAT impressive.  I think there are lots of applicants who are more well rounded (and likely have higher test scores and GPAs) who didn't get into ANY Ivy schools, so it does seem odd, at best, that this student got into ALL of these great schools.

+100 Look folks if you get a 1500+ plus on the SATs and you are black/Hispanic your acceptance rate to an IVY is over 25% seriously

vs whites/Asians those are a dime a dozen and then some

Congrats to this young woman but its obvious there were more qualified applicants from her own high school[/quote]
