College Impact

Kaplan’s 2013 survey found that 29% of admissions

officers surveyed have used Google to search for an

applicant (up from 27% last year), and 31% visited an

applicant’s . . . . social media profile . . . . 30% reported

finding something online that negatively impacted a

student’s admissions chances.

my grandparents to see this?” If the

answer is no, then don’t post it. Foul

language or offensive and rude posts can

reflect poorly on your character, and an

admissions officer who sees it may decide

you’re not a good fit. LinkedIn
