I have dual citizenship: one for Korea and the other for US. The problem is I have signed up and took the SAT and AP exams with the information pertaining to my non-US passport. However, I am trying to enroll to universities with my US passport, but the birthdates on my passports are different. Will that pose a problem in the future? PLZ HELP…
Yes, I think having inconsistent information on two official documents (birthdates different on passports) will cause an issue. Pick one set of documents and stick with it. If you pick the US documents and the school can’t true up the SAT score or transcripts, that could cause a problem.
Did you enter your SSN on the test documents? What ID did you use?
At the very least, be prepared to show why you have different birthdates on the documents. Was an international date swapped (you were born on May 9 but it says 05/09 on one passport and 09/05 on the other?) or is it just a mistake (05/09 on one and 05/08 on the other?).
You should have applied as an American and not Korean. When you get your I20 the US embassy will deny you the visa. Not good at all to have done this.
I was born at midnight and because of the time difference between US and Korea the birthdates aren’t same.
That is not an explanation. You weren’t issued a second birth certificate because you weren’t born in 2 places (you might have been issued a second based on the first).
Pick one, have the other passport changed to match. My daughter has a certificate of foreign birth and it doesn’t have a time of birth on it so even though she was born in one place and it was 12 hours earlier in the US, she doesn’t use a different day for her birthday.
In addition, applying as a Korean puts you at a disadvantage since they’ll assume you’re international. You’re a domestic applicant who’s been internationally educated and should apply as such (not to mention it’s beneficial).
Should I try changing the information on my CB account. Or will that cancel all of my past tests?
Does your HS report scores? No need to change anything with the CB.
Or forget about the SAT = register for the ACT with your US passport and birthdate. Done.
I suggest that, if it is possible, you do change the information on your CB account to indicate your US citizenship . It makes a big difference whether a school considers you as a US citizen applicant or an international applicant (“international applicant” in the college application context means “non-US citizen”), as international applicants face additional hurdles both as to admission and as to financial aid. You want to be sure your application ends up in the right pile. If you aren’t able to get it all straightened out with CB, you can always follow up directly with the schools you apply to and make sure they are treating you as a US applicant.
