When my parents signed me up for high school they put my Christianized name instead of the name on my passport/birth certificate. Don't ask me why they did this, they believed church documents were official. As a result, all my report cards have the name John-Doe Smith for example. My attendance records have me as John-Doe Smith. However, when I signed up for the SAT I signed up as John Smith omitting the Doe. I did this not knowing I could not simply go back and edit my name. However, I am going to be applying to colleges soon and I am going to apply as John Doe Smith because my transcript is under that name. I have contacted the College Board and they refused to change the name because I do not have the sufficient documents to change my name on the account. This is because I am an undocumented student. When I send my scores will colleges know that I am the same person?
