A high-school student from New Jersey answered the Stanford University application question, “What matters to you, and why?” by simply writing “#BlackLivesMatter” 100 times, without any explanation — and he was accepted to the school.
After being accepted, Ziad Ahmed of Princeton Day School posted a screenshot of his non-answer answer on Twitter, and it received enough attention for his story to be picked up by Mic. “I didn’t think I would get admitted to Stanford at all, but it’s quite refreshing to see that they view my unapologetic activism as an asset rather than a liability,” the student wrote in an e-mail to Mic.

Another reason NOT to hire college graduates anymore.
What drives me nuts is not that he did this but that this supposed center of higher learning enables his stupidity and does it because the lecturers and the school somehow need the affirmation of their students both for monetary gain and for societal ranking! What pathetic people we have made!
Good luck doing nuclear reactor design with a ged.
Black and Muslim, a political correctness two-fer.

She seemed to be of average intelligence (i.e., if she was a white male, she would never have been admitted to these colleges).

Every time I see a story of someone admitted to ALL Ivy league schools, it's always a Black kid.
This likely won’t appear in the alumni magazine.
"...be from the right family..."
Sandturd U., leading the Ivy Plague into the toilet.
What I want to write will get me banned for six years.
Spot on.
At first I thought you wrote “not to have college graduates anymore”
I agreed.
They are no longer places where you learn a white collar trade. I know that is not true across the board, but a new approach is really needed.

That could work!! Jim, they hacked my account!!
LOL
Only fitting, because he likely won't be an alumnus.
They might well have, but there isn’t the slightest evidence they changed anything you would have written.
