[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure if there is a box to check on any app if you are first gen. If yes, I wouldn’t check it, but would slip something into her essay about the mom bearing the brunt of parenting and not having the opportunity to go to college. And let the chips fall where they may. [/quote] On the Common App you are asked to provide the level of education both parents received. There is not a box to check "first gen". [/quote] Does it specify whether it’s in the US or not? I don’t have access yet so can’t look it up I am surprised our HS website specified that it’s in the US - I wonder how they coach the parents/kids to respond if it’s a degree from another country. I will have to wait and see![/quote] On the common app, they ask for parents' specific university names and locations.[/quote] Interesting! Thanks! [/quote]
