<p>For the Common App, there is a choice of several essay topics, one of them being "Topic of Your Choice". If I were to choose this one, would I have to write my own question, or just write an essay on whatever I wanted?</p>
<p>My daughter chose this option for her Dartmouth app last year. She just wrote an essay on a topic of her choice, no question involved. You could give your essay a title, though my daughter did not.</p>
