Social Media and College Acceptance


There has been a growing number of colleges over the past years who have been looking at students social media to decide whether to let them in their college or not. Here is what i have to say about this topic.

Colleges should only look at an applicants social media site, whether it be Twitter or Facebook, for a last resort. If two students have the same grades and the same GPA then colleges may look at the applicants site to see how they behave out of school. This, I believe is the only exception for a college to be looking at our Twitter or Facebook.

About Me

Hello my name is Michael Zager and I am currently a Freshman at the University of Kansas. I am currently studying Visual Communications. Photography is one of my hobbies that I have picked up over the years. I have always been interested in photography because of my father but never knew the elements, principles, and how to compose a photo until a few years ago. Self taught, I have learned the basics of composition and the photography rules.

About e-Comm

The e-Communication program focuses on Animation, Video, Wed Design, and Graphic Design. The Graphic Design strand in the E-Communications program focuses on using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create projects and do tutorials to further your knowledge in each program. Learning the basics of each Adobe program in the first year, then advancing your knowledge of each as you progress through your high school career gives us an advantage compared to other students going into the same college field as us. Animation focuses on the use of Maya to render images and videos created by students. The Video strand is broken up into two strands; Broadcasting and Entertainment. The Broadcast strand focuses on the use of developing skills in the broadcast field. Every few weeks they air a newscast called "ONW NOW" to show off their skills. Entertainment uses Final Cut Pro to make/edit various projects whether it be school wide or short films. Web Design, being self-explanatory, designs and codes html to make personal and professional websites for clients.
