<p>when i sent my supp. rec., i used my unofficial name. would brown found out that this rec belongs to me? cuz when i submitted my app, i used my official name. should i call them and check if they received it or not?</p>
<p>What do you mean, used your "unofficial" name? Is it something like Joe/Joseph or Liz/Elizabeth? Or does your "unofficial" name have nothing to do with your real name?</p>
<p>nothing to do with my legal name. but middle and last name are same</p>
<p>You'll probably be fine. They'll let you know if they're missing something.</p>
<p>but how would they know if im missing a supplementary recommendation since it is not required? Wont they just assume that i didnt submit a supplementary recommendation? Should try calling the admissions office and make sure they received it?</p>
<p>yeah you should.. definately when you think that this supp rec can mean a lot to your application</p>
<p>Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I would definitely contact them to make sure, then.</p>
<p>argh...
i called them and they said there is no way to know</p>
<p>My son had the same issue. He has always gone by his middle name, but used his full name when filling out the applications. I would send an email to brown admissions letting them know that you have sent in documents using 2 names- be sure to list both names as well as your Brown ID and social security #, and ask that they consolidate any and all files into 1 file. I would also have your college counselor contact admissions at brown as well. This kind of situation needs LOTS of follow through.</p>
