Hi. I’m planning on changing my social security name to match my passport name (they’re different at the moment) but all my tests like AP and SAT have my passport name while my college admission name is my current social security name. Will my college, UCSB, be fine with the name change or do I have to tell them about it? And will it affect my admission even though I SIR already?
It definitely won’t affect your admissions decisions! You should definitely let UCSB know about it though, so that they can update your name.
When your paperwork is all sorted out, let UCSB know about it. This kind of thing happens all the time. They will be able to fix their records.
