<p>Does our main commom app essay have to have a title? And does that count for the 650 word count?</p>
<p>No. Don’t waste words or characters on a title.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. Just checking.</p>
<p>No, and I don’t think you should have one because the Common App wouldn’t let you center it or anything and it just ends up looking weird.</p>
<p>Yeah there’s only like one paragraph break so the title would be smashed into your first sentence lol</p>
<p>You do get unlimited paragraph breaks, but no blank lines between paragraphs so formatting a title properly would be tough. Don’t use a title. It’s best to start with something that draws in the reader. In prior years an interesting title was helpful, but that’s no longer true.</p>
<p>Okay guys, thanks for your help! :D</p>
