Luckily, only about a third of U.S. admissions offers look at student social profiles. That said, you don’t want to take any risks. So take this summer to scrub your feeds before you start filling out the college applications this fall.

1) Keep the questionable content private

This may seem obvious, but most teens have one profile on Instagram for maintaining a public image safe enough for college admissions officers and at least one private "finsta" (fake Insta) for their friends. My best advice for keeping a social media account is: if you're not sure if anything is offensive or not the best look, make your account private just in case and leave the rest for your finsta.
