[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Impression of Posse:

Super-prestigious
Super hard to get
Recipients may need a little nurturing but are likely to soar
Wish my university had Posse Scholars[/quote]

My son was a semifinalist (and so was his girlfriend).  
There were no questions/discussion/questions on household income. 
One of the things they had on the website was identifying kids who were more likely to be overlooked. 
He has friends who were selected as posse scholars-- these folks were popular kids in school who already had multiple achievements-- these folks are not going to be "likely to be overlooked."

I think that the school needs to do a better job of nominating. Of course they will send their shiniest kids. But it should not be that way. It should be the "lesser known kids"- the ones who need more nurturing to and an opportunity to soar.

My friend had two kids go through the Posse application process (which is lengthy and intense). She said anyone can nominate students for the Posse process, I don’t think the nomination has to come from your kid’s school.[/quote]
