Social Security Number

Logged into my Northeastern portal for the first time and saw they didn’t have my SSN. I added it and then went back to check my common app. My SSN is there, so why didn’t northeastern have it? Do they always ask for it separately? And most importantly, should I be worried that other schools don’t have it? I definitely need financial aid.

This is a great time to log in to all of your portals and check that everything is complete.

Call and ask.

Agree with all the above. You do need to regularly check ALL portals. i remember my kid last year having a heart attack when for some reason a school hadn’t received her mid term grades. Turned out the counselor did indeed forget to send them to one college. It was well into Feb when she bothered to check the portal though. I don’t think it helped, as that was one of two schools she was denied from.
