"They Loved Your GPA, Then They Saw Your Tweets"

GPA scores are not the only thing colleges look for when they search through applicants. They look through any and all of your social media posts because if you are not the person you say you are in your application then the college will not take you based on your twitter updates and Instagram photos. What surprised me was that 30% of the admissions officers said that they had discovered information online that had negatively affected an applicants prospects. And that some students try so hard not to get caught online with their photos that they have two Facebook accounts. I wonder why they post photos that they know colleges wouldn't like. After reading this article I hope some students will think about what they post before they post.
