Yes they do know whose application it is when they read it. That is how they connect all the supplemental material together with your actual app. (Your submitted SAT score, supplemental submissions, financial aid forms, anything like that) You can see what is actually submitted to them after you complete the full app and click “preview submission.” It contains a 3-4 page document containing the entire application, including your name and your essay. Feel free to include it if your essay warrants it, but don’t feel pressure to put it in either.
