Interesting. I mentor a young woman whose mom, a college graduate, died with the girl was 8. Her dad never remarried, and raised her himself - he had some college but never graduated, was not at all academic, didn’t really involve himself much his daughter’s schooling. When she and I toured colleges in her senior year, I was told at two of the three that she WOULD be considered first generation; a third said “probably, but we’d have to check.”
