Read this this morning. It's definitely a smack your head/wtf moment. Sounds like even the applicant is surprised he got in for writing this, though from his other extracurricular activities he sounds like an especially good snowflake. In short he'll fit right in in Stanford.
This is political correctness run amok. We hold social justice views above all else, including intellectual curiosity and work ethic (the two things that should get you into college). Anyone applying to Stanford (regardless of race, religion, social status etc. etc.) who actually put in the effort to create a real application and showcase their real talents should be royally pissed. It may even be grounds for a lawsuit. I mean, seriously, how do you score "#BlackLivesMatter" written over and over higher than a real essay?

I recall when having to write something on the board 100 times (like "I will not be a disruptive little punk in class.") was a form of punishment. Maybe I just dated myself...

"The 18-year-old activist from Princeton, New Jersey, decided to use the opportunity to write “#BlackLivesMatter” 100 times."
Dammit, I want to be an activist now!

so is she a left hand or a right hand, and does she know what she's doing?
More to the point, does she know what YOU are doing?
