"List the last four digits of your SS number"

[n0vad3m0n]

<p>The Hopkins supplement in the Common Application has an optional social security field, which I chose not to fill out. </p>

<p>However, further down, when it asks for the document upload for the two essays, it asks that I "[include]...the last four digits of [my] Social Security number." among other things, like my name, birthday etc. </p>

Include your name, birth date, and the last four digits of your Social Security number on these and all other additional sheets.

<p>If I did not put my SS number in the original field, do I have to put it on the essay documents? I'm assuming that the SS number would be for identification purposes so they could match my essays.</p>

<p>you’re correct. No need for those digits if you haven’t provided your SSN.</p>
