Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly is a first generation American? My mother immigrated to the US in her early 20s from Hong Kong but my dad grew up in the US; would this make me a 1st generation immigrant?So I wonder, because you said you are half Mexican, are you first generation American, or perhaps first generation college student? Those types of statistics also help round out class composition goals. If your school has low test scores and you are on the high end of things, you are overcoming a tough academic atmosphere. Congrats to you!

More like second generation. It looks like you were born in US, not sure or did miss the posting about you being born in another country. You can't be an immigrant if you were born in US.
