Of 381 college admissions officers who answered a Kaplan telephone questionnaire this year, 31% said they had visited an applicant’s Facebook or other personal social media page to learn more about them… 30% of the admissions officers said they had discovered information online that had negatively affected an applicant’s prospects... In the business realm, employers now vet the online reputations of job candidates as a matter of course.
