Selling that much parkland inside the city would be shocking anywhere.

I imagine it’s either that or you have a number of mutual friends with the account and popped up in its Instagram suggestions, and the person running just clicked follow.\n\nWouldn’t worry too much or read this as any sign - as others have said, these accounts are all run by prospective or admitted students. Could also be someone claiming the username in advance and following hundreds just to boost credibility. See if it lasts the week; if it lapses into inactivity, the person/people running it either didn’t get in or didn’t have the time or energy to maintain it properly.
