It's likely they won't. Remember the following: Asians are OVERREPRESENTED in regards to the student body at Harvard. Harvard or any other selective school can point out that they don't just merely take the highest scores, and then establish a cutoff point. University admissions, especially at a place like Harvard, where they have oodles of qualified applicants, has a lot of gray area. Never mind the fact that it's apparent to anyone with two working eyes that the Asian petitioners lack the guts to go after the people that are really taking their spots: Legacy and Development Admits. Those two categories are overwhelmingly white, but nary a word spoken about that. This is a backdoor way to go after affirmative action, because in the eyes of the petitioners and their backers, it's not the rich dunderhead getting in that is the problem, it's the latinos and blacks that don't belong.
The ironic part is that it's incredibly rare for Harvard to admit an unqualified minority, because they don't have to. The best in the nation, regardless of race applies to Harvard.
We shall see at the District, Appellate, and SCOTUS levels wont we?
This case has turned into Harvard Law Graduate on Graduate warfare.
