No, I’m saying that the term “first-generation” has several different meanings. There’s the one that actually makes sense (your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on never got any kind of college degree) and there is the one that many colleges use (neither of your parents has a four-year degree).
I’m going by what the definitions literally say. If they wanted to include grandparents, they’ve had many years to change the definitions and they would only have to add a couple of words. For example, Marquette University uses a definition ([source](http://www.mu.edu/counseling/documents/1stgenerationcollegestudents.pdf)) that takes grandparents into consideration.
I’ve never stated that I’m first-generation on any application. The one time I was asked, I said “no.” Every other application asked about my mother and father in two separate sections, without any mention of other relatives or the term “first-generation.” I don’t see where I could have lied.
