<p>I'm an Asian American currently attending high school. All my life I have been believing that both my first and middle names were my first name. Most Asian Americans don't have middle names (that's probably what caused the misunderstanding). My parents weren't even aware I had a middle name. They registered me for school, SATs, AP exams, etc all under the wrong name. I was only made aware of this when I had to get my birth certificate to participate in Driver's Ed (which showed my real name). So I'm going to have to apply to colleges soon and I don't really know what to do. How will I send in my transcripts, test scores, etc? Should I apply to college under my "fake name" or my real name?</p>
<p>Apply under your “fake name” [which really isn’t “fake”], and if anyone asks [which i’m sure no one will as the grouping of your names doesn’t seem significant], just explain the misunderstanding.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m sure it will be fine. Your parents did register you under those names. </p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by “most Asian Americans don’t have middle names”. Most of the Asian Americans I know have middle names. </p>
<p>Although I know some adults who immigrated to America, the government messed up some of their names somehow by squishing their middle names and first names together.</p>

<p>u mad brah?</p>
<p>^He mad. He been banned brah.</p>
<p>The problem is you’re focusing on the things in life that don’t really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself “Am I on the right track here?”. I don’t mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.</p>
