[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS: admissions office actually looked [u]my[/u] profile up on LinkedIn during the admissions process (the Net is not anonymous, you know).  Total turnoff and DC is not going there now...[/quote]

What?!! Are you serious??? Not cool![/quote]
Why is this not cool? I don't get it. I will definetely check it out if I was part of the admissions office. For sure.[/quote]m

It's not cool because I told you what you needed to know about ME on the application. The process should be about my DC and not whatever information you think you can dig up on my professional page. I can only assume they want to see who else you are connected to for elbow rubbing purposes. Beyond ridiculous. Google my child if you want, but font Google me![/quote]

It's so funny to me that people get offended by this.  Also keep in mind they are dealing with so many applicant families that they may just want to, you know, see a picture of you so they can better remember who you are.  Pretty sure if you were so connected someone already at the school would have tipped off the admissions office.  Jeez.[/quote]
