Students applying to colleges are advised to do a lot: Make good grades; get good recommendations; play a sport; edit the yearbook; invent a simple, hand-held device that would run on solar energy and would provide a simple solution to climate change.
But those students are also being advised not to do one important thing: Leave a cyber trail that admissions offices can follow directly to their Facebook pages.
you can now set your FB privacy settings so you can’t be searched and found either on Facebook or Google.
My advice is to “friend” your priest, your child and your mother – that way you will be extra-careful about what content gets on your page.
