Oh they eat that **** up like you wouldn’t believe. Sorry, harsh language, but what I mean is that it bodes very well for your application.

I’m fairly certain they view it as positive for a college’s reputation if they’re the ones responsible for sending the first member of your family to college.

Your scores look great, and your gpa is okay. I would definitely include the fact that you’re a first generation college student in your essay.
