I’ve been following an interesting development about groups on Facebook for the Class of 2013. It seems that a small group of people have created groups for a significant number of colleges and universities claiming that they are the “official” Class of 2013 groups. In reality they’re not the official groups, and they’re possibly all inter-connected.
Please be aware when joining groups that you should attempt to seek out those created by the institutions themselves. Your best bet is to check for a link to Facebook from the institution’s Web site. Admissions professionals are not creating groups because we want to monitor or control what you’re posting; we’re doing it for your benefit so you can connect with each other and the institution in a trusted location. The groups and pages WPI has on Facebook are in no way connected to your application review. I am a member and administrator of the group I’ve created, but I’m only going to jump in to answer questions when necessary.
With that said, please be aware of the groups you’re joining. If you are a part of one of our groups and interested in being an administrator, please contact me. Here are our official Facebook links:
