General Would I be considered first generation?

[Question]

Members don't see this ad.

I am little confused about how first generation works. My father is a doctor outside of the U.S.. He doesn’t live in the U.S and wasn’t able to practice in the U.S. without taking steps and doing residency.

My mother’s highest level of education is high school from another country as well.

So, will I be considered first generation American in the med school app process?

First gen means one is the child of immigrants who was born in the United states.

Agree with above. Seems like you’re first generation
