<p>You said “neither of my parents went to college in the usa” but I’m not sure if that counts as first generation…
I think you have a decent shot. Good luck:)</p>

<p>As long as your parents went to college (yes, outside the U.S. counts), you are not considered first generation. I’m in the same situation, so I’ve looked into it. I don’t think I’m in the position to chance you, but I wish you good luck!</p>

<p>okay thanks. my SAT is pretty low though, right?</p>

<p>As long as you can get in the 2200+ range, your score won’t hold you back.</p>
