Social Media posts follow you every were, even to college.

The article, "They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets" by Natasha Singer, was about how colleges not only look at your grades but also your social media life. In Brunswick, Maine there is a collage called Bowdoin College. This college is one of many how have admissions officers who check the students social media posts. High school counselors are trying to now help students to make smart chooses on social media. In the article there was a senior who posted disparaging comments on Twitter about her fellow students. This comment caused some colleges denied the students' admission. This has happened to many other students who have posted unnecessary things on social media websites , which is what this article was about.          


What was interesting in this article was that so many collages check social media activity.    "According to the article "of 381 college admissions officer who answered a Kaolin telephone questionnaire this year 31% said they visited the applicants social media," (Singer 1). I also thought that it was interesting that collages can easily regent an applicant because they have so many other applicants who want to go to their collage. Although checking students social media profiles can also be seen as a violation of the students privacy. I do however support the schools who do check the applicants social media profiles. It might lead for much better and more deserving students to get into good collages.
