[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]

I can see this for the HS, but for the LS, the application is just as much about the family as it is about the kid. You should know better. Also, there are probably some parents who lie on these applications. IMHO, I'm glad to see the school do its due diligence. When a kid applies in boundary for the public school, I think it's totally OK for schools to do Google searches on parents to help ensure that you don't have kids out-of-boundary applying in. Also, don't be naive. Do you really think that you aren't Googled when ever you are sized up for whatever reason?[/quote]
