BX PE SA 2024 Non-Diversity

Just heard from a friend in diversity program that since candidates in the diversity program get first dibs on their favorite groups, theoretically groups like PE could be completely filled by the time the regular (non-diverse) round opens up (recruiter's words). Have heard anecdotally that it may be similar at other mega funds this year. As an asian/white male who's really interested in these PE SA groups, any advice on what am I supposed to do if they're completely filled with 100% diversity before I can even apply?

Nothing. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is apply, and with some luck you’ll get the interview, let alone an offer.

Prepare yourself to perfection and be personable in your coffee chats.
