<p>Soo I recently got a notification stating that I needed my social security number. I thought I wrote it down on my common app. When I looked it wasn't there. So if I put my ssn number in now will it be ok? I applied to a bunch of schools already</p>
<p>Bumppppppp</p>
<p>The purpose of putting your ssn into applications is to be sure colleges match your app properly to your financial aid materials. At many schools, it’s not essential. But, you may want to get in touch with each college directly where you have applied and not provided your SSN on the app to discuss the situation.</p>
