<p>So if a college officer were to search my name, they could possibly find some offensive posts of mine in a forum but from around six years ago (though they'd have to actually click my profile and view my other posts). Considering how long ago this was, how much of a negative impact would it have? Thanks.</p>
<p>I doubt it matters. Adcoms receive thousands if not tens of thousands of applications. They don’t have the time to google everyone, and certainly not sift through every reference about you.</p>
<p>Although, according to Google, I’m apparently a heroic NYC police officer. :D</p>
