Does not having college educated parents really help me?

Don’t get your hopes up on the Ivy League. High GPA’s are all good and fine, but they usually want at least 1400 CR + M as well as really good leadership positions and obvious passion for a desired major. You can get into top 50 schools I’m sure, but I’d say don’t apply to more than 1 Ivy.

Also, westsidewolf doesn’t know what he’s saying. No advantages for first generation college student. Only advantages for low-income or underrepresented minority first generation college student.
