Hey guys, this is a repost of someone else’s question but their situation is the exactly the same as mine. However, the replies on their thread were not useful.
“I have a middle name that is shortened in my official documents (green card, transcripts,passports, etc.) even though my parents call me by my extended middle name. I didn’t know (until now) that I had used the extended middle name instead of the official in my Common App (although not in my UC app because UC only asked for the first initial). How will this impact my decision if they look at my official documents (my green card and transcript)?”

I am in the same boat as her and I am confused about what I should do. Should I contact the colleges that I already sent my applications to and will this be a deal breaker for my apps? Although its been nearly two weeks since I submitted my apps, my parents and I didn’t catch the mistake until we were looking at my passport today. I am very stressed out about this and I don’t know what I should do.
