At California's San Francisco University High School, college admissions counselors are paying attention to the growing trend.

What is a cause and effect relationship that takes place in the Article?

Because college admissions committees are increasingly likely to consider social media posts, applicants are cautioned to check their online privacy settings.

Because college test preparation experts have cautioned applicants against posting inappropriate things online, most high school seniors are using social media less often.

Because a student applied early to more than one institution, which was in violation of an agreement, early admission is no longer offered to students who apply online

Because some incoming students had their admission offers revoked after posting offensive jokes online, the Facebook group for incoming Harvard freshmen was shut down.

A student who applied early to both Colgate University and another institution was ultimately denied admission at both schools.
