First Generation

How does being a First Generation applicant help you during the college admissions process?

However, if you are Indian, will that hurt you or will it help you more?

Colleges like to boast about how many first generation students they enroll. Being an international first generation student will likely not help you.

They usually refer to US citizens.

As is the case for most hooks.

And to clarify, since I am unsure what the OP is asking, first generation college student may be a hook at some colleges. First generation in the US is not a hook.
