first generation

Is a person who was brought to US at two years old considered first generation? Both of his parents have college degrees but earned outside of US

It’s not up to the student to decide. They will put on the application what their parents education level is and the school will determine. I am inclined to think the student would not be first generation to go to college. If they were wouldn’t every international be first generation wince their parents didn’t go to school in the US? I believe the intent is are you the first generation in your family to be obtaining a degree beyond HS.
