Sorry for bumping this months-old thread, but I found some (sort of) new information dealing with this subject that I feel may help future lurkers.

Through the recent FERPA situation, Duke’s The Chronicle revealed that first-gen immigrant status IS something AOs take into consideration. It’s something AOs take note of, along with economic diversity, LGBT, and first-gen college status.So it clearly doesn’t mean “nothing,” at least for Duke. I can’t find the article at the amount, but it was posted about a month ago.
