As high school seniors are figuring out if and where they're going to college, we want to hear from people who are the first in their families to go to college. Are you a high school senior who will be the first in your family? Or were you the first in your family--and do you have advice for others who will be the first? Call us. 212-433-WNYC. 

Joining us to field calls and offer advice is Kristen Harris, director of College Guidance at Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science and Engineering and the chairman of The College Access Consortium of New York (CACNY).

Jason DeParle, senior writer at The New York Times and author of American Dream, and Kristen Harris, director of College Guidance at Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science and Engineering and chairman of The College Access Consortium of New York (CACNY), talk about some of the issues first generation college students face.
