Are Admissions Counselors reading your Facebook or MySpace profile?
- Posted by Lori McCormick on October 2nd, 2008 in Admissions
College admissions officers are increasingly reading applicants’ social networking profiles. In particular, this article points out that while social networking sites can have a positive influence in helping admissions officers get to know their students, the sites are more likely to have a negative impact on a student’s evaluation than a positive one.
A word of caution to those with scandalous profiles…clean it up! You never know who’s watching!
