Am I first generation?
Answered

Hello, I will be going through the college application process this year and I was wondering if I'm first generation. Both my parents didn't attend a four year college but my sister will be the first in my family this year. After her, I'll be going to college too. Does this still consider me first generation?

It doesn’t matter if my sister is the first one going to college?

Ohhh okay makes sense, thank you so much! Will being first generation benefit me in college applications?
