Do College Admissions Officers Actually Check Applicants' Social Media Accounts?

If you're applying to college, time to set your TikTok and Instagram accounts to "private."

Final (I hope) word about the SAT for now: When journalists cite extreme claims about the validity of the tests THAT EVEN THE TEST MAKERS WON'T CLAIM you might want to be suspicioius about the veracity of those claims. #EMTalk

Fascinating but unsurprising new SAT inequity data per @socialassurity: 33% of the children of the very richest families scored a 1300 or higher, while less than 5% of middle-class students hit that score. Only 1 in 5 students from the poorest families took the test at all.

At #NACAC23, join us for discussion w/@ronlieber @DeanSoule_UPenn @WhitneyGouche about transparency in admissions. Is more information always better? What data do applicants want colleges to disclose during the admissions process? What are the reasons colleges won't? @NACAC

What happens to test optional going forward asks @spamfriedrice? It's not up to us, say admissions officers. It's up to the board, faculty, and others. Data only could do so much to influence decisions. #NACAC2023

Here’s an underappreciated fact about higher education in the United States: Most college students in the United States and its territories attend a public college or university that admits most or all applicants.🧵

Enrollment management and aid algorithms are essentially tools that predict the likelihood that a student will enroll in an institution after being offered admission. #collegeadmissions highereddive.com/news/colleg…

Why colleges are using algorithms to determine financial aid levels

The practice can help colleges optimally distribute their limited resources, but it could also cause issues for students and even create legal risk.
