Here's how to join Facebook:  go to www.facebook.com and open a free, personal Facebook account listing your undergrad college as your primary Network.  Once you have created your own personal profile page, search for the “Official Pre-Optometry Group Southern California College of Optometry” and you'll find the group’s Facebook page.  Dr. Munroe will need to approve your request before you can join the group.  You will be able to post questions and comments on “The Wall” and join the Discussion Boards.  The Group’s input is proving to be an especially invaluable tool for applicants.
