Being a first-generation in america?

<p>Well my family orginates from Russia and i am the first generation born in the United States. Do you think this will improve my chances of getting into schools?</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>idk man, Im in the same exact position…although I wasn’t born in the US, but rather emigrated when I was like 5 or 6( from Russia)
but I dont think it has much impact to be honest</p>

<p>ok because I’ve heard that colleges prefer minorities</p>

<p>Just because you’re an immigrant doesn’t imply that you’re a minority…</p>

<p>Could help you by giving you experiences to write about in your essay. I don’t think it can help you directly…are you also a first-generation college student?</p>
