<p>Just about NOBODY in my entire extended family has attended college, excepting three people: 2 cousins and my brother. Does this count as me being a First-Gen College Student? Also, would this sound good on an App?</p>
<p>Yes, this is very sought after on an App. And you would be considered first generation, because your parents didn’t go.</p>
<p>Only your immediate family counts and you and your brother are in the same generation, so yes, you would be considered first gen. It tends to be a tip factor, how much it helps is variable.</p>
<p>second what MSauce said.</p>
<p>Yay for non-college educated parents ^^</p>
<p>There are really only a handful of colleges that care about first gen and they are generally the top ones.</p>
