Be Careful What You Post
High school seniors who are fretting over applications, interviews and grades for college have another thing to worry about: Will their Facebook or MySpace pages count against them in the admissions process?
A new survey of 500 top colleges by education company Kaplan found that 10 percent of admissions officers acknowledged looking at social-networking sites to evaluate applicants, and those, 38 percent said their views of applicants were "negatively affected" by what they saw.
