I'm guessing that they won't reject you on the basis of a FB that might be you. Unless "doesn't share a name with any schmucks on FB" is part of their app criteria. Woe betide any John Smiths or Lauren Joneses if that's the case. Otherwise I think you're fine 🙂

Create a facebook account and out-do those profiles with a perfect, pristine, profile of your own.

the people reading your applications are busy.
they have better things to do than to spend all day looking up applicants on facebook. this doesn't mean that they won't, but it's not likely

You should probably send a letter to every school you applied. Explain that these people are not you, and provide a link to your facebook account just to be safe.

And your myspace. And your Youtube favorites, so they know you only enjoy watching videos about double-slit experiments and organic lab techniques.

Seriously? If you have a common name, don't worry. They have no way of knowing which one is you, so that won't factor into it IF they even bother looking you up.
My dad is an interviewer for OHSU and the most anyone does there is google the person's name to see if they have some kind of record or if some amazing award they claimed to have won checks out.
