[心得] 用英文名字考TOEFL的解決辦法

[donkilu (donkilu)]

這一篇因為牽涉到application階段的問題，所以發在留學版~

狀況是這樣的: 當初創TOEFL帳號時，沒有注意到要填護照上的名字，

所以就順手填了常用的英文名字。直到報名考試後發現不對勁，

寫信給ET$，他們卻只冷冷地回覆:

Unfortunately, your request to change your name has been denied. You will
need to create a new TOEFL IBT online profile using the correct form of your
name. We regret that we are unable to assist you at this time.

無奈之際，又很不甘心報名費就這樣放水流。於是便做了以下幾件事:

1. 考TOEFL會先驗證件，需要去領事事務局在護照上加註別名(不用錢且現場辦完)

2. 成績照樣發給各個學校

3. 確認校方有沒有找到成績，有些學校是看registration number，有的是看名字找。

   如果學校系統找不到你的成績，就需要寫信給Admission Committee，內容大致如下:

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is ***, and I am applying *** program for 2015 fall. When I reviewed
the page of My Status, I've found out that my submitted TOEFL score wasn't
linked to my application, and I believe the problem came from the name discrepancy.
I used my second name(As known as) when creating my TOEFL account. I tried to
change it before taking TOEFL, but ETS rejected my admission. Even though I
reported my score to (學校名字) on 12/12, the system maynot link my score to
my application due to the name discrepancy. Here is some information about my
TOEFL score:

(帳號資訊，考試日期，成績...等等資料)

My name:                        *****
My second name (As Known As) :  *****

If anything required to solved this problem, please let me know. I sincerely
appreciate your consideration.


去信後1~2天就會收到校方回信，告訴你是否找到成績。

我前前後後寫信給7個學校，最後都有順利找到成績(顯示official score received)


總結來說，用英文名字考TOEFL不代表報名費丟水裡，

只是需要不斷地確認，適時地寫信...

很麻煩但至少可以省下一筆錢，提供給各位做參考。


一切的開端都是創帳號時太隨興，請務必注意，要填護照姓名! =A=)/
