My personal view on Weiss's backstory is that everything is intertwined. With people like Ruby, I can see certian parts (Summer) being independent of other parts (Her disire to become a Huntress). But with Weiss, it just seems like everything was caused by a previous (and likely painful) event. Something caused her scar, and he scar caused something else, and that caused her disire to become a huntress... or something along those lines. Most likely, weather or nor Beacon was decided for her depends on other events in her backstory, the scar being one of them.

And there's no such thing as getting too worked up about RWBY ^^
