A question about the essay section

<p>In the essay section, the 4th option lets applicants choose a topic of their own. The instructions specifically say that the applicant should indicate which topic they're going to use.</p>

<p>1) If I plan on using a topic of my own choice, how do I indicate it? Do I write my own essay question above my essay before submission? There are no radio buttons or check boxes which I can use to indicate it...</p>

<p>2) Also, is an essay title required?</p>

<p>3) Lastly, is it OK to go over the word limit by 36 words?</p>

<li><p>Just copy and paste your essay into the box. You don’t need to write your prompt or anything, Adcoms are pretty smart people, I think they’ll figure it out.</p></li>
<li><p>No.</p></li>
<li><p>Or 100+, like mine was. Don’t worry.</p></li>
</ol>
