I just read a book review, A Journey of Belonging by Jenna Wortham, New York Times Book Review, Nov. 17, 2017. The review is of REAL AMERICAN, A Memoir, by Julie Lythcott-Haims. The book is about how Ms. Lythcott-Haims feels about being bi-racial.
My impression from the book review is that going to Stanford ruined her happiness. Her feelings metamorphosed into palpable anger and resentment as an undergraduate at Stanford University. As a reward for becoming dutifully angry, Stanford made her dean of freshmen. It seems to me that Stanford drove her crazy. She got the imprimatur from Stanford, but at the cost of her happiness and peace of mind.
