Personally, I don't think Weiss was pressured into being in Beacon. In fact, I think her parents would probably prefer that she take over the company and stay away from evil monsters. But, being Weiss, she got what she wanted and went to Beacon instead. Ruby was lucky, she would have gotten in eventually but got advanced out of sheer luck. Yang is just a skilled fighter, your basic student, maybe slightly more skilled. Blake, I think, went to Beacon because she didn't know what else to do. After leaving Adam behind she had to find somewhere to go. Possibly wanting to live a somewhat normal life, and definately knowing how skilled she was in battle, she decided to try and get into Beacon. She may have been thinking that becoming a Huntress would let her help people, but without having to risk hurting people like she came so close to doing when she was with Adam.
