"They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets". By Natasha Singer New York Times this article informs the reader that collages now look at an applicant's social media account. If they find something inappropriate they may not accept your application.
One thing that surprised me was the fact that collages can mistake an imposters account for an applicant's. This worries me, how often do collages make this mistake? When this mistake is made this can lead to "unfair treatment". Another thing that surprised me was that in the article it says that "Often false and misleading content online is taken as fact". not every thing on the internet is true.
One thing that confused me was the article mentioned a student's digital footprint". What did they mean by this? Now after reading this article I will be more cautious when posting online.
