I would like to know how many folks are first generation college students.

Thanks to the Gazette for reporting this, but next time could you display the pie graphs face-on instead of at an angle? It would make them much easier to read accurately-- just ask Steve Wang for his "chart junk" spiel and you'll know what I mean.

Also, and since this is only the admitted students and not those who will actually be intending, this would mean a lot more if there was more of a comparison between this year and those immediately prior, to have a sense of whether there are any trends at work here.
