[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, first gen has nothing to do with being an immigrant. Surely you know this.[/quote] A number of schools consider a student “first gen” if their parents attended college in a country other than the United States. [/quote] If that is the case, that does not make sense. First gen should mean the first generation that attends college/university, not the first generation to live in the US or attend a US college. There are plenty of immigrants who are educated and well-off when they come to the US. (For example, I am thinking of my DD's peers at her high school, whose parents are economists at the World Bank and IMF. I doubt that they should count as first gen.)[/quote]
