<p>So I am sending resume's to colleges by snail mail, and I want to have all the appropriate info listed on the top of the resume so that they can match it to my application folder.</p>
<p>So far I have my name, address, commonapp I.D. and phone number.</p>
<p>Should I put my social security number as well? Anything else that I might add to it??</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>That should be enough. Even if you have a very common name like John Smith, it’s highly unlikely that two John Smiths with your address are applying to the same college this year.</p>
<p>Colleges seem to like using social security numbers, but you really shouldn’t give that out any more than necessary.</p>
<p>If you feel you need something more to identify you, you could add your date of birth.</p>
<p>Many colleges ask applicants to include their high school name and date of birth. I wouldn’t give out my SSN.</p>
<p>Whenever I’m in contact with colleges, they always want my date of birth. When my mom tried to contact them and didn’t put that in, they called it a phishing scam, so definitely put in DOB.</p>
