Schools google every applicant they consider. They even watch threads on TLS.goldeneye wrote:Why wouldn't you have full privacy anyways? And if you think they waste their time googling you...
Because I use it for business as well as my personal page.... The only people that are blocked are my psycho ex-wife and her equally psychotic soon to be next ex husband....

Calm down bra. There have been multiple adcomm offices who admit the lurk these forums. I also asked a Dean of Admissions who confirmed it.rriles wrote:never heard of adcomms searching facebook profiles. but, you know, TLS is so full of people over-analyzing admissions that a lot of crazy ideas get thrown out.

If your settings were private and unsearchable then they almost certainly got the info from somewhere else. We probably would have heard about it by now if fb had a secret operation where any company could pay money to see any fb information.kapachino wrote:The private settings give folks a false sense of security. I had an interview with a firm last year, and one of the first things we discussed was stuff that they had clearly gotten from my FB profile. I don't know if that means they pay FB to see candidates' profiles or what, but being private and unsearchable doesn't mean a thing if people want to learn more about you.

Yes the leap from adcomms lurking on TLS to looking at applicant's facebooks is totally unreasonable. We should all aspire to your level of calm and emotional stability. The rest of TLS is suspect. Thank you for pointing out this grave truth.rriles wrote:who isn't calm?Mal Reynolds wrote:Calm down bra. There have been multiple adcomm offices who admit the lurk these forums.

yeah, i've read that as well. how maybe once in a blue moon they even find a guy and match his name up and are able to read his posts etc.
that's not what this thread is about, though. this thread is about how applicants generally hide their facebook profiles etc. and the fact is that the vast, vast, huge majority of applicants don't have to worry about that. the fact that we're even talking about it shows how wacky this community is.

Well, if you are a median candidate with nothing to distinguish yourself from anyone else, then odds are they can't figure it out (unless you out yourself)nmop_apisdn wrote:How can the adcoms find you on here? The email search option has been disabled.

yeah you're right, ad comms do that plus scour facebook to such an extent that we need to have a general conversation about how we can all safeguard ourselves from some dean of admissions finding out how much we drink/party/act like idiotsMal Reynolds wrote:*Goes to [Add Law School Here] applicants thread, looks up poaster who says I just got waitlisted with a [Insert LSAT/GPA Here]!
