You don't get it, do you? Here's my look on Weiss Schnee's situation.

This is a world where monsters are of bigger population than mankind. This is a world where it's common to have teenagers train as Huntsmen and Huntresses - legendary warriors who defined the top status in society - so common in fact, that they could fight against the Grimm and be nonchalent and excited and totally fine and treat it like some sort of game. Hell, death was perhaps even a common thing for the ones who were assigned to the borders and had to clean out Grimm every day.

And you're saying that the Schnee corporation would have a heir/heiress that's inferior to these warriors.

If there's one thing I know for sure about a Schnee, it would be that they must be strong. In Weiss' case, she must be perfect. There is no way in hell a Schnee would fail being a Huntsmen or Huntresses; and considering their bloody war with the Faunus it would be absolutely inconceivable to think that they wouldn't train their blood to be the strongest of strongest. It made every sense to send Weiss Schnee to the best combat academy in the world, and for a Schnee they expect her to be at the top, if not the very best.

If Weiss had failed, she would be worthless, useless, thrown away. Her failure might be tolerated once, but not more than that. She would be discarded without a second thought the moment she was deemed unworthy of being a Schnee. You think that by being the heiress she would be indulged and treasured like a baby? You think that since she was the only one - and we don't even know if that's true; and what if she ''wasn't even Schnee blood? ''- that her position would not be threatened in any way?

It was the complete opposite. She was faced with far greater pressure than anyone else with exception to her parents, and her life would've ten times easier and happier if she were to give up and just fail. But Weiss could not accept failure, would not accept failure. What do you think the White Trailer was about? It was a test alright, it was a test where she would prove herself worthy, a test where she would prove that she wasn't a failure, a test where she would die if the otherwise were to happen. And Weiss Schnee did not let it happen. Weiss Schnee was perfect, and she would not allow herself to be imperfect.
