6. I'll be fine
I'll be fine. I care more about the policy as it affects the nation than about how it's affected me personally; as I said, I got into a good school anyway. I'm not going to bother appealing the decision because Stanford is a private school and is well within their rights to discriminate (to an extent) however it wishes.

FYI, a Supreme Court ruling ruled that AA via quotas is unconstitutional for public schools, a few years ago.
