[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My mom didn't go to any college and I didn't go to college in US, my daughter is underprivileged as a first generation applying to American colleges but she has to compete against students whose parents understand this system. She can beat them but being an Asian, she is in a limited quota group so less desirable than underachievers of other quota groups.[/b] First gen is take into strong consideration by colleges - as well it should be. Your daughter will be evaluated as a first gen - regardless of race - also how it should be. [/quote] No, the daughter is not first generation if the parent went to college, even in another country. Growing up with parents who never went to college is very different from growing up with parents who went to college, no matter what country the college is in. You are only first generation if your parents did not go to college at all. [/quote]
