This is simple to answer. They are going nowhere. There are enough well qualified Whites in the applicant pool right now that are getting rejected so they get a modest bump when [b]all the preferences are removed[/b] and  they compete on a level playing field. Now obviously, the Asians who are getting screwed right now due to blatant discrimination will get the lions share of the benefits, because pound for pound, their applicant pool is much stronger and it is not just because of their scores. [b]They also have great EC's and if Harvard did not deliberately ding them on the personal ratings to keep their numbers low and give those seats to blacks and Hispanics, they would score high on the personal ratings as well and occupy most of the slots that the URM's take.[/b] [/quote]
And to white students.. those seats are also given to legacies and athletes, which is the point OP is making.  So, from an academic perspective, those white students are also taking those spots.[/quote]
