<p>Hey</p>
<p>I need to know if I should put the prompt (the question) and the title at the top. I'm assuming I just need to put a title but I would like to confirm this. Btw, this is for the Common App and supplementary essays for the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>You should post this in the University of Michigan forum. More people would have knowledge specific to that school.</p>

<p>I put prompts on my essays when I was applying. If colleges have a list of prompts to choose from (which is often the case), it makes it easier on the person reading your essay to know which prompt you’ve chosen.</p>
<p>I didn’t when I was applying, so I think either way is fine. I’m sure they wouldn’t object if you put the prompt at the top to be on the safe side.</p>
<p>ok thanks everyone</p>
<p>Also… title your essays.</p>
<p>For the format of mine, I’d put something like</p>
<p>A) Describe a defining moment in your life (or whatever the prompt is).</p>
<p>My Glorious Time To Shine (title)</p>
