Yeah, I agree. I feel like if I put a dozen student names, then it may appear like desperation on my part. I think if I just put one or two good names that will actually remember me (in case they do ask), then that'd be better. But to be honest, I bet they don't weight this question too heavily... I think it's entirely plausible that you could've had a nice 2 minute conversation with an Adcom after the info session a year ago and that he totally doesn't remember you now! At least that's what I think is going to happen in my situation

I think if you're able to write the name of at least one adcom member, then it at least shows you visited and made an attempt to learn about CBS firsthand... I think it's that "signal" that they're really looking for. Probably not much time for them to do in-depth analysis and research given the anticipated spike in app volume this year. That's what methinks at least.
