<p>Is it generally a bad idea to include past teacher's names in personal statements? I assume that it is best to leave out all names. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I used real names in my essays and did not run into any problems. If it makes you concerned, however, leave them out or change them to aliases.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I am going to leave the names out. It doesn’t hurt or help my essay, in my opinion, either way so whatever.</p>
