"They loved your GPA, then they saw your tweets"

by Ainsley Heise 

       In this article it informs kids to be careful on what they post on social media. Many high school seniors will apply for top colleges but what the seniors don't know is that colleges will check your twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any social media site. Some colleges will deny applicants if their social media page have bad influences or inappropriate remarks. 

      Things that surprised me was in paragraph 10 it spoke of social media lawyers. I didn't even know that was a thing! Overall this whole article surprised me because I didn't think that colleges would go that deep into researching their applicants. 

      One question that I had was why wouldn't colleges do this? Then they could see who they might accept into their school. It gives the college a general idea of who the person actually is and what they really do. On a college application page people will always try to make themselves look like an angel but their social media page could ruin their chance. 

     After reading the article I deleted anything that was rude or disrespectful to anyone. I now watch what I post on Twitter or Instagram and make sure it isn't bad. This article really made me realize how fast my chances of getting into a good college could come to an end. For my future plans I hope to get into a division one school (University of Texas or University of Alabama) or play volleyball for any college that offers me a position. I don't know if they check social media but it is always good to be careful of what I post.
