<p>I did not include my Social Security Number on my Boston College Supplement, which has already been submitted. Will this affect my application/financial aid? Or would the number on the Common App suffice?</p>
<p>Call them immediately. On one of DS's applications (to a different school) his SS number was written incorrectly. We knew he was eligible for a presidential scholarship from that school but he didn't receive it. Turns out it was because of the SS number error. SS number didn't match his FAFSA/Profile. Correction was made...and poof...the financial aid was awarded.</p>
<p>^^^I friend of mine had that problem, and technecally it was a federal offense, so they had a hard time fixing it.</p>
<p>SS # errors are a pain when you file the FAFSA. Our aid office tells students to do a completely new FAFSA, rather than try to fix the incorrect one. It's easier all around. The one with the incorrect SS# will bomb due to not matching in the SS database, so you won't even get a valid SAR from it.</p>
<p>In our case, the SS number on the FAFSA was correct. It was incorrect on the college application so they didn't match. The change was not hard to make.</p>
