Schrödinger’s affirmative action. Of COURSE I was good enough to get in on the merits, but the non-merit system I support is what got me in. Also, my conclusion is not “so let’s go to a straight meritocracy (which I TOTALLY would have gotten in under)” but the continuation of the non-merit system that I got in under but I reiterate, TOTALLY did not need! Except for that I did. Or didn’t. Wait, what was I arguing for again?
