<p>First gen college is definitely an advantage.</p>

<p>Do all you can to bring that SAT Critical Reading score up, especially by comparison with your math score.</p>

<p>Do you know which colleges you're interested in attending and what you might want to major in? It's hard to be specific without much specific interest info :)</p>
