[quote=Anonymous]I think the parents tried to make the case that she should have been eligible and a very strong candidate from an affirmative action point of view. (Court case mentions that parents were upset the school counselor referred to her Nigerian heritage even though she was born in U.S. because they feared it might make her ineligible for affirmative action.) As one of the top 14 African American PSAT scorers, as a state champion athlete etc. and, frankly, as a student of one of the most elite schools in the Country, she should have been a very viable candidate for all those schools from an affirmative action perspective. As a URM, she had great credentials, especially when compared against peer URMs from DC. That’s what a lot of posters keep missing. [/quote]
