2 selective private universities have checked mine out (and my husbands).
What does it mean? |

| They want to ensure you’re full pay. |

| Who knows. May be they want to make sure neither parent is a celebrity on onlyfans or similar? |

| They are looking for wealth, address, zip code. They even look up your home on google. They also want to know if parents are PITAS |

Yes happens a lot.
Esp if high profile job title. They are probably fishing for donors. |

May be too late now. Should have polished the linkedin profile before sending in the applications to reflect the extraordinaire parent persona.
They likely want to know how responsible of a parent you are. Include skilled in time management (between work, household duties, and soccer practice), proficient in lunchbox packing, skilled in carpool coordination, fluent in parent-teacher conference diplomacy, etc. Show the AOs how good you are, and why your child is a good product of your effort. |

| They're bored and curious? They thought your career sounded interesting? Thought your name sounded familiar and wanted to see if you were connected? |

No, admissions officers do check LinkedIn for financial, career, and educational information of parents. |

| I pay for LinkedIn premium and this happened to me when my child was going through the process. I also saw profile views from development office employees. I’m surprised they don’t understand that people with premium can see who views the profile. |

Isn’t that on the common app? Career/job title and company? Education level of parents ? |
