<p>I've already written my essay for the common app, but I remember seeing something on a post here about a title. I wanted to know if it is necessary or recommended to put a title? Especially with the 500 word limit, is it worth putting a title?</p>
<p>would like to hear an answer to this too</p>
<p>Putting a title is optional. I think it would be a good idea though, especially if you can come up with a good one.</p>
<p>and dont worry about the 500 word limit - if your title adds an extra 5 words it doesn’t really matter. the limit is just a guideline.</p>
<p>Does your essay topic lend itself to a punchy title?</p>
<p>Oh, okay. I thought it was like a strict limit. I can come up with a really good title for my essay. There are none in my mind at this particular moment, but I just wanted to know, ahead of time, if it was even necessary. But, thank you all for the help!</p>
