What the Article is About?
"They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets" by Natasha Singer was an article about how your social media could affect wether or not you get into the college of your dreams. Many colleges look at social media when someone looks at their college. Having a good GPA isn't going to be they only thing they base off of. Some high schools have taught students to delete anything on social media that could turn someone off. With the college admission officers becoming younger and younger they are finding way to look at everyones social media wether its private or not.What Surprised Me?
I thought it was weird that they would have you attend they college because of the social media. It could have ben a one time thing that caused you to tweet that way or post something about it. Also you could be a great student and your social media isn't. They shouldn't base weather or not you join their college cause of the social media. Your going to school to learn not to learn what your doing wrong on social media. They shouldn't compare social media and school together. There two separate ideas and totally different. I don't think it is right to a certain place.
What Confused Me?
The article had some confusing parts. But I'm really confused on the fact that they don't really care about anything else other then you GPA. if you want to go to the school it should be based on school not thing out of school.
Affect on my Social Media
I have known that I need to be careful with what I post. Some people should read this article because they should know that people will look at your social media and judge you. Even if you delete it will still be able to be found. But I know what is okay to post and what isn't okay.
