Colleges and Social Media

When colleges look you up on facebook, they will get to see what kind of person you are. If I have a picture posted with me and a beer cup and I’m at a rave, will they reject me or should I just take these kinds of photos down?

I would take them down. The truth is that the likelihood of adcoms checking your FB page is very, very low, the risk is pretty great and there’s no real benefit to keeping pictures like that on your page, rendering cost/benefit analysis pretty damn simple.

I honestly don’t know if they would reject you straight out, but it definitely won’t help. Really, there’s no benefit to having them there. You should take them down.

Did you really need to post this to ask? I think you already knew the answer before posting this

Just take any risky pictures down, to be safe.
