Facebook is the enemy of your college application, reports Kyle Smith:
What’s next? College admissions offices. Though a 2008 Kaplan survey showed only 10% of colleges copped to checking out the networking sites of applicants, 38% of those said such searches turned up negative info.
Some colleges think it’s a little invasive to do this kind of thing — after all, if providing a place for sex/drink/drugs away from parental eyes is pretty much the top attraction of higher education in the first place, why get worked up if the kids start early?
But as admissions offices fill up with people who grew up on MySpace, that’s going to change.
