so on UCSD site for freshman applicants it gives you the maximuim points possible for thigns such as volunteer, leadership, and all.
i came across 1st generation… waht is that exactly…

technically i am the first generation to go to UCSD (lol)… my dad went to a university in sunderland (england) and my mom went to college, but never completed it exactly…
my older sister went to community college and now is at CSUSM… so hehe can i still be counted as first gen?
