Prospective college students, beware: There’s yet another reason to make sure your Facebook profile is suitable for all. According to a Kaplan survey of college admissions officers, more than 80 percent of college admissions officers consider social media presence when recruiting students.
Although this doesn’t necessarily mean that Facebook and other online profiles will be considered in making admissions decisions, All Facebook reports that at least one Harvard admissions officer — who posted on a Quora thread in response to the question “do high school students’ Facebook profiles affect their college applications?” — said that a student’s online presence “absolutely” prejudices her.
And StudentAdvisor.com editor Dean Tsouvalas wrote in a blog post that “in at least one case an admissions counselor told us they rejected a potential student based on their social networking profile.”
