<p>While I am not first generation to go to college on my mother's side, I am on my father's. Will colleges see this as a...partial hook?</p>
<p>I don’t think that qualifies as first-generation.</p>
<p>No. First-generation status does not alone count as a hook. If you were low-income as well, yes, but you appear to be neither.</p>
<p>First Gen is just a tip, not a hook. And you are not one.</p>
<p>okay, that’s what I thought. Thanks for the answers.</p>
