Do colleges look at your social media? It’s a question every student should have on their mind when preparing to launch a college search and submit applications.
1. DO HIGHLIGHT ACHIEVEMENTS
Social media can be an excellent place for showcasing relevant achievements.
2. DON’T FEATURE ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR
Images or posts outlining how a student participated in something illegal are never wise additions to a social media profile.
3. DO TALK ABOUT VOLUNTEERING OR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
If your student volunteers or is otherwise involved in their community, showcasing that on social media can be an intelligent decision.
4. DON’T DIVE INTO CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS
Along with being something students shouldn’t write about in college essays, avoiding controversial topics on social media is also a must.
