Think Before You Post (Achieve3000) Part 3

Social media's role in the college admission process is a growing trend. Test preparation company Kaplan Test Prep released the results of a poll about the subject in February 2017. Kaplan surveyed 365 admissions officers. Of these, 35 percent said they look at Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to learn more about applicants. This percentage has grown since 2008. Back then, only 10 percent of admissions officials said they checked applicants' social media pages. The practice could become even more common. Nearly 70 percent of admissions officers responding to Kaplan's annual poll in 2018 said that they consider social media profiles at least "fair game" to review as they decide who gets admitted.
