<p>you're a first generation korean? What were your parents then, chinese?</p>
<p>Uh, well, good chances at all.</p>
<p>"you're a first generation korean? What were your parents then, chinese?
". </p>
<p>that made no sense whatsoever.
first generation, as in im the first generation in my family born in america idiot</p>
<p>technically speaking that makes you a 2nd generation; cuz otherwise what are you parents, 0 generation?</p>
<p>no offense =)</p>
<p>great ECs. chances look good.</p>
<p>it doesn't make him second generation. his parents are 0 generation as they never lived in america. he means he is the first generation in his family to be born in America.</p>
<p>"as in im the first generation in my family born in america"</p>
<p>how much more clearer can i get?
chances look good ? on the emory or vanderbilt board, it seemed as though i didnt havea chance</p>
<p>You are also a first generation college student -- because your parents didn't go to college (your brother doesn't count -- he is your generation).</p>
<p>That will help you out a little -- both admissions and scholarship money.</p>
<p>Sorry -- I don't know about your chances.</p>
<p>thats good to hear</p>
<p>no one wants koreans in presitigous schools...</p>
