What do colleges look for in the "perfect students Facebook"? - xCodyx - 12-13-2012 05:32 PM

Studies are showing Facebook accounts for over 80% of your application to a university or college. What are they looking for? What should you do and what shouldn't?

Don't have one, or set it on private. There's pretty much no way for a kid to have a Facebook account and never say anything stupid, racist, insulting, ignorant, or have a stupid picture of themselves posted. Pretty much any online presence is a bad thing as far as admissions are concerned.

don't know what "studies" you read, but they're mistaken

You do realise that colleges have thousands of applicants?

Admissions staff don't have the time to scour through your facebook.

Don't believe everything you read
