<p>The name i registered with for my collegeboard account isn’t my legal name, but the name I go by. Should I send my scores anyway? Assuming all the other info (ssn, date of birth, etc. are all correct). I called CB to get it changed, but the guy said as long as the other stuff was correct, it doesn’t matter, because colleges identify you by your SSN.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>It depends. If you just use the diminutive of your first name or a nickname but everything else is the same, it’s not a problem. If it is completely different, it is a huge one.</p>
<p>Colleges ask for nicknames, and other names that you go by, so make sure that you list it there as well.</p>
<p>Well it was the difference between my Chinese name and my English name, so the two are completely different. I did list my English name under “nickname” in the application though. Anybody else?</p>
<p>it won’t matter, trust me.</p>
<p>I’m sure it won’t matter.</p>
<p>It’s fine then.</p>
