<p>Does student need to put name and date of birth on uploads (essays)? Also, if choosing an essay topic of your own, do you enter the prompt?</p>
<p>I don’t believe so, as the online common app automatically does that.
And from what I’ve read, you usually do not tend to need to use any of your precious words on stating your prompt, but it should generally be fairly obvious from the essay.</p>
<p>Nope to both of them.</p>
