[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PPs - I used to work for a POSSE funder & was really surprised when I saw the background of the participants. They present the program as one providing for opportunity for alternative candidates (e.g. not the typical UMC student) and yet I met a POSSE scholar from the Upper East Side with parents with high caliber jobs. Don't really understand their rationale. Seems a lot like the "first gen" label including kids who have one wealthy immigrant parent who attended uni in another country but are otherwise indistinguishable from all of their UMC peers. Strange systems, purporting to assist low income kids but in reality drawing from subsets of the same old privileged pool (and boosting the chances of those kids for reasons not having to do with economic disadvantage).
