<p>I know schools such as MiT say that they care if you are a first-generation student, but how much does is it really factored into admissions? Thanks</p>
<p>It’s a hook. It’ll help you, but it won’t do much if the other parts of your application passage aren’t great as well.</p>
<p>Sweet. I’m first generation because my parents didn’t go to college, right? Neither of them went, my grandparents never went, however, my aunt and uncle both went to college and my sister is graduating next week.</p>
<p>You are first generation. It will help.
Good luck! (You’ll still need it!)</p>
<p>xD yeah I’m sure it’s not going to be that big of a deal in admissions but hey, I’ll take any advantage I can get. thanks</p>
