“Colleges Scan Facebook During Admissions”. This article is about how a quarter of some colleges and universities use Facebook to scan an admiring applicant’s personal life through their online profile. This means that a wild picture posted on their Facebook page as their default might give off the impression of a party person and will kind of eliminate themselves from the admission advisor’s eyes because they would not want that type of reputation in their university. NACAC showed that Myspace and Facebook are helping campus officials decide which students are accepted and rejected every year, but I did not say how often it affected a campus official’s decision. Social networking experts and College Officials say reviewing applicants online profiles are becoming more common in a higher education. To me I think it has its good and bad sides about his way to pick and choose applicants. The reason why I think this is a good idea is because a person should represent themselves on their online profile the way they would in person. So if a person did not want something to be known about them then they should not put it on their online profile, because some people get mad saying all this stuff how people view them because of their profile, well then I honestly don’t think they should be presenting themselves in a way how they would not want to be viewed. But I also think that maybe people should not always assume and judge people by what they do or how they look. Because you never know maybe a very intelligent student with intuition and goals just decides to go out one night and they do party or whatever and end up posting the pictures on their facebook but it was only one night and the campus officials view that one picture and say no we are not going to accept them because they party, but I honestly do not think that all a person’s decisions should get down to affecting whether they get into a university or not because like I said it could have been just one night or just a celebration and the campus officials end up taking it the wrong way. But then by that one picture that smart intelligent kid loses out on the opportunity to get in to that university but then a kid without a wild picture but not that motivated to do well or maybe is just trying to apply to that school because its parents would get in, I just don’t think that’s right.
