If you are applying to one of the need-blind schools (currently there are 5 of them in the US: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Amherst, MIT; there are more for an American citizen), then your ability to pay will not affect your admission. Except for these five schools, however, it will be easier for you to get into college than for an international student who requires some form of financial aid.
And yes, being a first generation college student will also boost your chances.
