Do colleges care about my social media presence?

Hi everyone, I've been wondering if colleges look at applicants' social media accounts during the admissions process. Should I be cautious about what I post or is this not something I need to worry about? Thanks for any input!

Hey there! It's a great question, and I'm glad you brought it up. While not every college actively looks at an applicant's social media accounts, it's important to be aware of your online presence. Some admissions officers might check your social media profiles, particularly if there are any red flags or concerns in your application. It's always a good idea to make sure your online presence reflects who you are in a positive light. This doesn't mean you have to scrub your social media completely clean, but be cautious about what you post and share, especially anything that could be seen as offensive or inappropriate. If you're worried about your social media presence, consider adjusting your privacy settings or doing a quick clean-up of your accounts. In the end, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your college prospects. Best of luck!
