    See, this is the kind of thing I'm happy to see, people who are overly joyed to get accepted. Not people that apply for Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc, and they get accepted into each one and don't even bat an eye. Congrats Girl.

      Lockjaw If you look on princeton's website, only 9 percent of undergraduates are black. The majority is made up of whites and asians. It wasn't because she was black, it was because they found her to be a great fit for the university.

      +Lockjaw Are you her teacher?... Were you the person who admitted her?... What makes you think that you're qualified to assume how she got in?... The first threshold you get over is academic. So if she wasn't academically cut out to go there, then she just wouldn't have even been considered, idiot. So that dispels your assumption that being black is the "only" reason she got in. She's freaking intelligent. More so than your ignorant ass. Then AFTER they weed out people like you, they can consider race, nationality, and financial need, because diversity makes for a more enriching experience. Still, there's NO reason to believe that she wasn't one of the people who were accepted based on merit alone. Just because they're allowed to consider race, doesn't mean that every black person accepted (or ANY black person accepted) is ONLY accepted because of their race. You're just sad, and desperate to discredit black success.

    Certainly must be a supposedly "brilliant" individual to make it into my undergraduate alma mater, right? Of course good old quota/AA would never have been part and parcel to admission. No, never that.......................Hey, let's see if she can function a few basics..............Given that m = 4, n = -3 Calculate, (3m + n) (2m - 2)
    Factorize completely 16p + 2r Given m = 4, n = -3 Calculate, (3m + n) (2m - 2) What is the highest common factor of 6 and 14?
    Let's switch gears.............. Oh, no looky uppy...............Water soluble bases are known as what? Who was the father of modern chemistry? Solid carbon dioxide is also? Who disproved Rutherford? What element has no neutrons? Europe's open border policy is known as? What was the predecessor of the internet? Under who's original claim was New Guinea?What is/was a quinquireme?
