<p>I was trying to register for TOEFL in July, and found out it costs $18 to send scores to the colleges!
Is it ok to send scores even before i send my application forms to the colleges?</p>
<p>Also,
I have name discrepancy between my accound name in collegeboard
and passport.
I am korean and as most koreans do, I have two syllable first name.
On my passport, two syllables are sepearted my space
while they are connected without space in all my school records and collegeboard records.</p>
<p>To make the point very easy, my passport name and collegeboard name is different!</p>
<p>and most colleges require me to use my passport name on their application.
What do I need to do in this case?
Is it just a simple issue that can be easily solved by just mentioning this fact to the colleges that I apply when I send my SAT scores?</p>
<p>note: I am posting same thread here as I thought there would be more people who understand my situation..</p>
<p>I used two different spellings of my family name too (XaeX vs XaX).
I e-mailed all colleges that I was applying to except for two about it; the colleges I did e-mail managed to match my test scores to my application and the other two did not. My conclusion is that it doesn't matter that you are using two different spellings as long as you let the colleges know.</p>
<p>And yes, it is usually ok to send your test scores ahead of your application but when you send them very early (like in July) you should check with the colleges that they still have your scores on file when you submit your application (you can do that in the e-mail about your name)</p>
<p>b@r!um is really helpful and well-informed. Bryn Mawr has one great young lady this year for sure. :) I am sure you researched very thoroughly while preparing for college and applying. I am pretty sure you listed your colleges elsewhere in the forums but can you spam them here for me? I'd like to know which colleges you applied to apart from Bryn Mawr, Smith and MHC.</p>
<p>I also applied to Wellesley, Hamilton, Colby, Trinity and UPenn. If I were to apply to colleges again I would replace Colby, Hamilton and UPenn with some other co-ed colleges. It's really amazing how my interests have shifted in the past few months. Anyway, I am extremely happy to attend Bryn Mawr next year. When I was little I wanted to attend an all-girls boarding school really badly and this is like a dream come true!</p>
<p>Where else did you apply except for Mount Holyoke? I am sorry that the financial deal did not work out quite the way you would have liked it but I am sure you won't regret the investment. Have a great time!</p>
<p>Well, I applied to Princeton, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Wellesley, MHC, Smith, Bryn Mawr (whatever made me apply to women's college other than mom insisting... think it was financial aid or a feeling that I'd get more security <em>had a princessy sheltered life</em>)
So yes four co-eds that were WOWZER schools and 4 women</p>
<p>Now Smith didn't receive all my materials although I did resent and MIT didn't receive my fee + something else very important (I forget). I did send them in time but they didn't and it took them a while to sort me out... pass the evaluation date. Stanford, I didn't have much hopes as they're not exactly need-blind to intys and the only one I knew from here who got accepted in the past year had a bunch of O and A levels and great SAT scores ... where my entire SAT experience from registration to the score receiving thing was a horrible experience. I sent my Princeton, Stanford and Yale applications early (not EA just mailed them early) so didn't know about how my SAT test day was going to be horribly sickening and that I'd have to give in walk-in otherwise I would not have applied there but gone for non Ivys. So anyways, got accepted to three (2 required SATs so they must've overlooked my poor SATs).
As for the girls school, I also attended an all girls' international catholic school in Japan and had a great time (diplomat life so obvious)... so perhaps this is prefectly the right direction for me.</p>
