Name Change During College Admissions?

I took the SAT I in October of my junior year, and then naturalized a month later. When I called CollegeBoard, they said they could not transfer my scores to an account with a different name, even if I had the same SSN, address, etc. I got a 1540 in October, meaning I had to retake it in January and potentially get a lower score.

So what I’m saying is, it’s not a big deal, but if you do change it, you will not be able to use your earlier scores and only send once.

Because I wanted to be ethical, I just sent them my scores from both accounts, and since my SSN was the same, they were easily accepted into the system. No problem.

Hope that helps.
