Actually she didn't really do anything with her case - she was backed (and seemingly manipulated and kinda used) by Blum. Neither of them happened to admit the fact that of the 47 students with aggregate grades/scores lower than her, 42 were white...

"So Fisher and the other remaining applicants were instead evaluated based on two scores: one for her grades and test scores, and the other based on a "personal achievement index," which ProPublica explains awarded points for two required essays, as well "leadership, activities, service and 'special circumstances.' Those included socioeconomic status of the student or the student's school, coming from a home with a single parent or one where English wasn't spoken. And race."
School officials say that this is where Fisher's mediocre grades and test scores really dinged her, Hannah-Jones writes: "[E]ven if Fisher received points for her race and every other personal achievement factor, the letter she received in the mail still would have said no."
And yet: the school did offer "provisional" admission to students with lower test scores and grades than Fisher. Black and brown kids, surely, right?
Wrong. Five of those "provisional" students, according to court docs, were black or Latino. The rest of them —42 in all — were white.
As Hannah-Jones points out, neither Fisher nor her backer Blum saw fit to mention those 42 accepted white kids in interviews"
