<p>My middle name is my mothers maiden name and I was worried that it would be confused with my last name so I didn’t put it. The application asked for a full middle name and the question was optional so I left the middle name space blank. Does that matter?</p>
<p>If it was optional, then no, you’re fine. No need to worry so much, you’ll be okay :)</p>
<p>Thank you physicsnut1</p>
<p>The important part is using the same name on all of your documents. It is very confusing when an applicant is referred to as Jane Doe-Smith on some school records, then Jane Smith on others…keep it consistent.</p>
