In addition, the Bakke decision made it clear that affirmative action was a no no.

The Bakke decision didn't go that far at all. It banned strict numerical racial quotas in admissions (at state institutions), but not affirmative action. Race was permitted to be one of the determining factors in admissions.

Bakke himself was ultimately allowed admission to the UC Davis medical school.
