results in less than 2 hours people... anyone nervous/excited?

[usamatiwana]

I need to ask a question, might be a bit stupid, but I couldnt find a solution to it my self. :/ Its like my complete name written in my educational record is M. Usama Bin Ramzan Tiwana and where as on my Passport, on Given Name it says Muhammad Usama Bin Ramzan and last name as Tiwana. So now when I have to fill in the forms I have to separate my First name and last name. Last name is Tiwana, but coming to my first name, I should use M. Usama or Usama or Muhammad as my first name? Most of the forms dont have enough space in the middle name to accommodate rest of my name. Called Collegeboard about this, the chick on the other side said as long my First Name and Last Name's there, all's good. But Im still confused about all this. :/

What do you guys suggest?

[gtfotu]

Muhammad Usama. If they don't have enough space, Muhammad should be your first name.

[usamatiwana]

Muhammad? Its like I already Registered with collegeboard for my SAT as M. Usama and on commonapp as well. I dont think they would let you change it on commonapp, so should I re-register or something or what? Never thought my name would get me such trouble :P

[gtfotu]

I mean if you don't have space then write Muhammad. Otherwise M. Usama is fine. You can't re-register. And chill, they'll understand. I had the same problem with my name thing.

[pakipower]

What do you guys suggest?

Your first name is Muhammad.

[usamatiwana]

@gtfotu Well I hope so they would.
@pakipower Most of the people have told me that but I already registered as M. Usama and hope so it wont cause much trouble.

Good luck

[gtfotu]

ahmad999, you can't apply ED to Harvard. Secondly why are you sending your reports now? It's not even time to fill the application and all right now.

[usamatiwana]

speaking of which, I wanted to ask the same, like do we have to attach copies of certificates for our EC's? or just mention them in the application? and the same for Volunteer work, like we just mention it or attach some kind of document proving the validity?

[gtfotu]

You just mention them. The only thing you send are you transcripts.
