<p>I'm planning on transferring from a community college and this is my first time filling out the common app so I thought I'd ask here. </p>
<p>My dad did not finish high school.
My mom went to trade school.
Would I be considered a first generation college student?</p>
<p>Assuming that by trade school you mean a school that does not grant bachelors level degrees, then the answer to your question is yes. But, this is determined based on your answers to specific questions. You will be prompted to give your parents’ names and the exact schools they attended.</p>
