    I'd agree with that, but this woman wasn't as good a student (everyone knew this, which is why jaws fell when it was announced that she'd be pushed to the front regardless), so it wasn't about not being cut out for it, she just simply didn't study hard enough or just couldn't have been bothered.

    Anyway...

    Basically what Murph said. There's a difference between an A-average student dropping out, and a C-average student getting the spot instead of an A-average student, and then dropping out anyway.
