I agree with much of that actually -- I think girls whose families are not at all familiar with this process are at a disadvantage with the preparation -- when gathering recs for instance.
And it certainly isn't a system set up for people of different socio-economic backgrounds. One of the questions on many GLO's national rec form concerns the rec-writer's best guess regarding the PNM's ability to honor financial obligations.
But I disagree that only one or two non-white girls make it through from time to time.
