Social Media

 

Summary about article
       
        "They loved your GPA, then they saw your tweets"
by Natasha Singer, is an article that explains how social
media can change how a college looks at someone. Even  
if a student has a 4.0 GPA colleges can still say no if they
see a rude or inappropriate tweet or picture. Students try
to get rid of their digital footprint when turning in a resume
for college. There is a job out there to check peoples Twitter
and see if they want that person in their school.

Surprising
         
        Some things that surprised me were that 31 percent of
some schools are checking students Facebook to learn about
them. A student applied for college and the administrators
saw on his Facebook that he was posting rude and offensive
posts about a teacher from high school and they didn't accept
him. Some students amended their accounts before applying
like deleting posts and pictures.

Confusing
         
          Things that i wonder if that what kinds of things did
they say to be declined into college. How do the administrators
know that it is not a imposter account and not the real one?
Will they still decline the student even though it wasn't them
that posted it? The last thing I wonder is that how do they find
students account and actually know it is that person?

 Social Media      

            I don't use a lot of social media, i go on Facebook to
see what's going on but rarely post. I think it is a dumb idea
to post things that you will regret later on. If you don't want
anyone to see it then don't post it. The only things I post are
things about concerts or things that I am going to.
