This article is about school admission officers looking through the social media accounts of applicants to see if they are the correct people that their school wants to be associated with.

What surprised me about this article is I didn't know that schools keep track of their mentions on social media. Another thing that caught me off guard would of been the amount of schools that admitted to looking through applicants social media as a routine practice.

A thing I question about this article and the practice of snooping through the social media accounts would be who is in charge of this job? Who has time out of the day to search and go though every applicants social media? To me it seems like this would be a waste of time for colleges to be worrying about this type of stuff.

This article truly wont impact the way I use social media because all my accounts are on private so I have to accept the person to follow me or friend me to view the stuff I post.
