High School students should be careful about what they post on social media, i.e. blogs, podcasts, message boards, Facebook, My Space. Research has shown that 26% of colleges surveyed are using search engines to research potential students. The negative material the college admissions officials are finding contradict the application essays and characters that students have projected. Admission decisions can be affected if information is found about a students character differs than what is portrayed on their application.
