[quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP. I also hate to see all the complaints about the "advantage" first generation students have. I was first generation and believe me, it was no advantage when trying to figure out how to apply to college. My parents had no idea what a SAT or ACT was, much less that it was required. I came to my parents asking them to let me sign up for it. There were no spring breaks spent visiting colleges. I visited exactly one school - the school of a co-worker of mine - when he invited me to join him for class one day and lunch on campus. I remember scouring books at the library with lists of scholarships to apply for because no one in my family knew how to pay for college. It may be an advantage on the application to be a first generation, but getting to that point is a huge lift for a kid without any guidance.[/quote]
