Who are first generation college students? No parent in the household has a bachelor's degree from the U.S. Students will be the first in their family to attend college (younger siblings of older college-going siblings are still considered first-gen).
Okay so here's the deal. Every college and university system in the US has their own definition of what First Generation means. Here are some of the interpretations: 1. UC Schools - First generation means neither of your parents graduated with a 4 year US undergraduate degree (Bachelors). 2. At USC, they define first-generation students as those whose parents do not have four-year degrees. Even if you have older siblings who are currently attending or have graduated from college, you are considered part of the first generation to enroll in, and eventually complete, college. 3. And at Brown University which is an Ivy League, First Gen takes on a very flexible definition which is self identifying. The formal definition of a first-generation college student is a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree. At Brown, we think of it more as any student who may self-identify as not having prior exposure to or knowledge of navigating higher institutions such as Brown and may need additional resources. For example, if a parent attended a four-year college in a different educational system outside of the United States; if a student has only had close contact to people with minimal college experience; if a student and/or parent feel that they are unfamiliar with college culture at Brown-- these are diverse ways in which students might identify with the first-generation identity. So what they are saying at Brown is that even if your parents attended college in India, that still might not give you the tools and experiences to properly navigate and transition into an Ivy League school. Let's face it. Colleges in India are no the same as Ivy League institutions. So Brown is saying, you decide how you want to self - identify. It's like a pro-noun okay. If you want to be a She / Hers be a she hers, others be a She / They. It's your college experience so if you need more support and need, ask for it.
Many colleges and universities are beginning to consider students with parents who attended international universities as first-gen. We suggest contacting your admissions counselor, academic advisor, first-gen student programs office, or a trusted person on your campus to learn more.

….不怕被查可以啊，等查到你再说呗。 不过我在一个群里看到有人特地问了mit ，我存下来了：we consider a first generationcollege student to be an applicant whose parents do not have bachelor''s degrees. This includes degrees earned internationally. Furthermore, the applicant would definitely not be considered firstgeneration, if their parent held an advanced degree, such as an MS or PhD.
有些学校是可以的，虽然有点儿不讲武德。 Who Is Considered a First-Generation Student? The definition of first generation, used to determine eligibility for the federal TRIO programs and Pell Grant, is a higher education student whose parent or parents did not earn a bachelor's degree, according to an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965. Some schools, like the University of Pennsylvania, extend the definition to those whose parents received degrees from non-U.S. institutions, among other exceptions.

在美国读graduate degree 都要undergraduate degree 认证的吧，除非是国内本科直接来美国的，有了美国的graduate degree 也就默认不是first gen 了。 想起几年前我们这里某歌喉高中的录取，要求填是不是eligible for free lunch. 正好那年COVID 刚好一点，为了方便学区给了所有小孩free lunch. 然后真有人填表的时候填自己eligible. 后来录取结果出来以后，学区又单独给那些填了yes 的录取娃家长发了信，确认他们是不是低收入，有些人的offer 就被收回了
现在不是都在钻空子嘛，哈哈😄
这不是钻空子 只是想搞清楚好吗！
要这么说，这个版上绝大多数的娃都是第一代了，可能吗？
老留几乎都没在美国拿过本科学历，只有小留是拿了本科学历，现在abc要么父母是老留要么唐人街的，按这个标准，都是第一代吗？显然不是啊
你这逻辑太牛了：（ 美国大学录取优待第一代大学生是为了帮着弱势群体，他们父母没有机会受高等教育（一般是蓝领）。你家这都graduate school了，远高于本科学历，凭啥优待你家？

是的，从小孩子的登记表格上，要被问父母的学位受教育程度。恐怕填低了老师都看不起，哈哈。

正想说这个，你能来美国读graduate school，一定做过学位认证，等于是证明了你在国外接受了等同于美国四年本科的教育
纯讨论。以前从来没想过这个first-gen定义的问题。
有些人是在加拿大英国读的学位，在美国就木有读书直接工作，这样就很擦边了。还有些比如南美小国来的，本国读的硕士，但英文都不会讲，只能干体力活，这种就真的不能算了。
不能算第一代
不算
nope
this is called fraud
其实楼主去问问自家娃就知道了，我把这个英文部分给我儿子看了，他说当然不算，这英文不是看字面意思的，是要想想深层含义为什么有这个policy，是给父母没有学识资源家庭孩子的帮助。
我服了您了！
