They Loved Your GPA, Then They Saw Your Tweets

In the article "They Loved Your GPA, Then They Saw Your Tweets," the writer is talking about how a high school student was very legible for joining a high college, however, they did not let her go due to tweets that were unexpected of her to post about other students. The article goes on about how the colleges a person goes to also checks their students social media for good behavior and why. 

Although I've known about this since 6th grade, it still shocks me that, no matter how able you are to go to that college, you wouldn't be able to go due to a social media problem. Deleting it does not help at all, either. 

Some things that I still have questions about would be what if you had an account where you were pretending to be a character (role play account.) Also, would it effect you if you liked a post that was not college appropriate, but you did not repost it or talk about it?

This impacts my look on what I've done on social media because, when I was younger, I made bad choices on the web and, now that I'm older, my humor is cruder so I fear that my liked photos/posts or posted jokes will be considered bad.
