Are universities supposed to google every applicant?
I mean I haven't been in academia for a decade, but back when I was I certainly never browsed a 17-year-old girl's instagram before making an admission decision.
- brandall10 2y agoNot every applicant, but the ones in the accepted pool, it strikes me as odd there isn't some basic amount of vetting. Instagram? No (although, wouldn't be surprised)... but doing a gut check with the school admin and looking at public records? Sure.
- hackernewds 2y agoyou present a very interesting specific example of Instagram which is completely unrelated. story time?
