So, in essence, colleges are stalking you and you're lying to them.


The New York Times reports that colleges and universities have stepped up their game
to stalk prospective students' Facebook, Twitter, and social media profiles--and are using that information in their application decision making.

In response, students say they're manipulating their online presence to portray a positive presentation (in hopes of being accepted to college!), while maintaining a secondary social media presence with false names, so they can be themselves (in hopes of being nasty to that fellow high schooler killing their popularity!).

It's a weird courting ritual filled with obsession and lies.

It's like The Bachelor, but with fewer roses.
