Colleges have now been looking at students social media posts, before they go to there school. Students social media and digital footprints can sometimes alter there admission process.
What surprised me is that 30 percent of the admissions officers said they had discovered information online that had negatively affected the applicants prospects, out of the 381 college admissions officers they asked.
Its been an increase of 5 percent of admissions officers that looked at there social media profiles since last year.
In the article I questioned "Whats the least worst thing that could change your process for going into a college?" I also didn't know some of the words in the article like credentials and scrutiny.
The article impacted my own view of social media by looking at my friends social media profiles and wondering "With the stuff there saying, will the admission officers really see this and will it change the rest of there lives?"
I feel like all the kids my age need to review there social media posts before its too late and can change there future for the worst.
