I was filling out college applications and I finally was able to send a few in.
I noticed yesterday that on one of the applications I made a typo on my Social Security Number. For example, say my SS# was 123456789, I had accidentally typed 123457689.
Is this something I should rectify immediately or wait until whether or not I get accepted and choose to go there. I already know that if I get accepted then that is the college I'm choosing.
If I should do this now then how should I contact them to let them know? Should I do it through e-mail, phone call, in person? The college is about 2 hours away so it would be really hard to get up there and speak with somebody...

Anyway, I was wondering what I should do and if I should take action now or wait until I find out about being accepted... (link)
Get in touch with the admissions department at the school you applied to. I would just explain the situation and ask what the best course of action would be. It isn't a big deal, really. If anything it will just slow down the acceptance process, but I'm sure it is something that can be handled with relative ease.

Thanks so much.
