My son just received an Instagram request for the “class of 2023” from his first choice for college. Is this a scam? I looked at the account and it’s not an official Instagram account (doesn’t have the blue check mark) nor does it have any pictures posted. He applied Early Decision and won’t find out until mid December. I’m just curious if others have received similar “friend requests.”
Treat it as suspicious. He can ask the college through the applicant portal if the specific account trying to contact him really is the college.
Thanks @ucbalumnus. That’s what I thought but it got my son all excited. Just need to keep a positive attitude while we keep our fingers and toes crossed for the next 3 weeks!
