Social Security Numbers
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 4:17 am
I'm a non-US citizen, but I have a SSN. I didn't put it in when I registered with the LSAC (I don't remember if it was optional of if they didn't want one from non-citizens) so they gave me another number to use for apps.
The whole thing has been pretty confusing for me lately, so I have a couple questions
- Do I need to put it down when I take the LSAT this weekend? Should I put down my real one or my LSAC one? Can I just skip it?
- When a school asks for my social, sometimes it has my LSAC social pre-filled and sometimes I can fill it up myself. What should I do in these situations? Should I fill out my real or my LSAC one?
- Is it worth contacting LSAC and attempting to change it right now? Is it even possible? Or can I just use this fake number for the entire application process and pretend like I don't have one at all. I'm mainly worried about trouble and confusion down the road, like when I take the bar or something.
I'm not sure if this is something I need to be worried about or not, any thoughts?
