Noone, no matter what their color, political affiliation, religion or gender, no matter what their grades are, should be accepted to any semi-reputable, and especially highly reputable university after doing what this person did. That's not clear to you?

"The D:R ratios for the five fields were:
- Economics 4.5:1,
- History 33.5:1,
- Journalism/Communications 20.0:1,
- Law 8.6:1, and
- Psychology 17.4:1.
The results indicate that D:R ratios have increased since 2004, and the age profile suggests that in the future they will be even higher. "
