<p>Both my parents never got degrees past high school. I filled out their information on the common application of course, but I never actually mentioned "I'm a first generation student" on my essays. it never really came up. Will they just see it on the application? Or did I mess up a little bit here?</p>
<p>I’d assume that if you already indicated that your parents did not receive college degrees, the adcoms can infer that you’re a first generation college student.</p>
