this may be an incredibly stupid question but...

<p>do adcoms see my name on the application? or is it just a number...
i've had email coorespondence with my adcom, and my names quite noticible. I know this doesn't affect my app in anyway, but just wondering if they can match a name to an app?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they know your name, especially with common app because i know you input your information and all.</p>

<p>and i meant memorable, not noticible...</p>

<p>okay anyone else?</p>

<p>Course they do... It's all over your app... and your teachers/counselor are not going to address you as "it" in your recommendation...</p>

<p>well obviously i know that.
I just thought that they may blot it out or something, like they do with many scholarship applications.</p>

<p>Just the opposite, they are trying to get to know you. If you've done a good job with your app, they will feel as if they do. This is why some schools actually let adcom do housing placement, they know the kids.</p>
