Does this mean that your parent did not graduate college and that you are the first in your family who will complete a a college degree? That is considered a “hook” at colleges. And assuming that you have the kind of GPA, test scores, letters of recommendation, extracurriculars and essays that will impress admission officers at that selective college, your parent’s college history should not matter to them.
