when they told my freshman class they denied X with perfect SAT, Y with amazing GPA, Z with the best extracurriculars because they wanted us to be diverse I went back to my dorm and cried and also viewed black students totally differently from then on

fun note as a high level school it turned out they were actually actively discriminating against domestic asians and I had actually extra earned my spot but when I learned that I felt extra sad for black kids and women who could never honestly believe they did
