<p>I always hated my legal name. So I'm thinking about changing my name to my nickname. But here's the problem, though, I already applied for US colleges with my legal name. If I wish to change it after I get my decisions, will it be possible? Thanks. </p>
<p>Do not change the name too early. Stay on the safe side.</p>
<p>I changed my name in Grade 11, so it’s going to come on my Grade 12 report.
In your case, I wouldn’t because there might be a problem with the visa.</p>
