<p>what exactly is a first generation college student? does it mean that, out of your brothers and sisters you are the first to go to college?</p>
<p>No, it implies that your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents......etc. did not attend college.</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>Related question that I don't feel like starting a new thread for:</p>
<p>I know that if your parents went to university in another country it's not the same as being first-generation, but is there any place to say that on the CommonApp? Also, should one say it?</p>
<p>im including it in my application so yeah .. you wouldn't be considered first generation but do include that your parents went to uni outside the USA .. but u should get other viewpoints besides mine.</p>
