[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand all this push for first-gen. I was first-gen back when it wasn't a thing. If anything it was an embarrassment. But I succeeded on my own. Why should first gen students whose only claim to a seat is to be born to parents who didn't make it through college, take a seat over a, say, TJ kid who has busted her butt for 10 years, prepped, taken the tests, taken the SAT subject matter tests, done the ECs, done the community service, etc. etc. etc.? Or put another way, why are the first-gen taking precedence over other important categories like URM? Athletes? Legacies? low-income?[/quote]
