<p>Would I be considered first generation if my mother attended college for two years but dropped out and my dad received a bachelor's but passed away? </p>
<p>nope</p>
<p>You probably won’t actually be asked if you’re first-generation. Applications will ask about your parents’ education level. If one of your parents has or had a bachelor’s degree, you probably won’t be considered first-generation by any definition.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
