 Welcome to UC Berkeley's Foresight Pre-Optometry club! Spring's First General Meeting (posted 1/22/2012):
Come find out more about what's in store for foresight this spring semester! When: February 1st @ 7pm Where: 489 Minor Food will be provided!! Silent Auction for Kaplan Courses (posted 12/1/2011): Suitcase Clinic is having a silent auction online for 2 Kaplan courses along with their Benefit Concert this Saturday, December 3rd for any interested pre-health student! If you're interested in placing a bid for one of our two Kaplan Courses, please read on. The bids start at $1,000 and once the auction officially ends this upcoming Saturday (12/3), they'll
figure out logistics regarding how to make a payment and with whom the
winning bid will go to. The course can be used for any of the exam
preps, i.e. DAT, OAT, MCAT, etc., so even if you aren't committed to
optometry, this might be a helpful resource! One of the courses will be
valid until December 2012 while the other one is valid until April 2013.
