Typo on college app..
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...

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.

Call as soon as possible.
You should call if not ask in person. If calling doesn't walk, go in person, and if that doesn't work, e-mail.
I'm not sure when they are reviewing your college application whether they check to see that you gave the correct social security number, so it will be important to contact them and update them with your actual social security number. You don't want to run into any problems. I don't think it'll affect your acceptance per se but might delay things because a social security number is important in saying that this is really you because no one else should know that number (identification) Even if it's off by one number.. just take action immediately.
