[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a professor who works with first-generation students. This kid would not be considered a first-generation college student. [/quote] How do you select the kids you work with? Like, who endorses their 1st gen’ness? And would you consider a kid whose parents didn’t graduate college in the US but did in another country 1st gen? Thank you![/quote] Most schools will use the typical definition, which is both biological parents did not attend a 4-year institution. This might help: https://firstgen.naspa.org/blog/defining-first-generation Sometimes this can be overlooked if the child doesn't know/live with the parent who went to college. This is a good explainer of that: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/education/edlife/first-generation-college-admissions.html[/quote] Are you the PP working with first gen kids? I asked her specifically because I am interested what it looks like in real life[/quote]
