<p>on my SATs, I registered with a non-legal American nickname</p>
<p>however, on all my official documents (transcripts, school reports, etc.) I have my legal chinese name</p>
<p>will colleges (especially the UCs) be able to match up my SAT scores?</p>
<p>I dont think so.. didnt they ask you to prorvide your legal name though?</p>
<p>Don't trip, UC's look at the social sercurity number to find who is who when tracking SAT's. As long as they see the correct Test date and scores, to match up with what was filed in your Freshmen admissions then you will be okay.</p>
<p>Just to make sure, go ahead and notify the schools in writing about the name issue and you will be okay.</p>
<p>ok I emailed the UC office of admissions
they said they'll match my scores by SSN
thanks!</p>
<p>doesnt the uc ask for "other names listed in other academic records" so isnt it okay if you put down your english name in that column</p>
