Hey Jimmy, I’d say that you should contact the collegeboard and talk to them directly. Hopefully, they would make it as painless as possible and resend your scores under a new name.

This would probably be the best time to do it. If you don’t do it soon (by the end of the acedemic year or beginning of the next), then you will have to wait. Things could get cloudy in transition.

So, if you want to, do it now.

P.S. You could use it to your benifit in mentioning it in the application. It could help, or just subconciously make your name stand out in the readers mind. I don’t mean to use an important decision like this to gain admission, but every little bit counts.
