<p>i wanted to know if it was true or not</p>
<p>yes but not by much. i think it helps more if you are applying to ucs... i dont know. someone verify this?</p>
<p>Yeah, UC's give you a certain amount of "points" for being a First generation college attendance. That means your parents don't have a college education.</p>
<p>You stated that you are a first generation immigrant.</p>
<p>Are you a first generation college student? If your parents went to college outside of the U.S. then you are not a first gen student.</p>
<p>A first generation immigrant to the U.S. does not improve your chances.</p>
