<p>My wife has an associates degree and I did not attend college. Would my daughter be considered 1st generation when applying to Cornell (CALS)?
It seems schools have different criteria concerning 1st generation applicants.</p>

<p>“First generation students, defined as ‘those college students who do not have at least one parent who earned a bachelor’s or higher degree’”</p>
