<p>I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm not sure I formatted the beginning of my essay correctly. Right now, I have my title underlined and centered. Underneath that I put 'By (my name)'... I'm not too sure if I should have my name or not, and is there anything else I should be including?</p>
<p>Jenny, I don't think it's a big deal either. Your essay and any other documents you upload will be printed with your Common App ID, so your name isn't really necessary. If you have titled your essay, underlined and centered should be just fine. geek_son's essays didn't have titles.</p>
<p>Do make sure you've identified (in the Writing section of your app) which essay prompt you're going to answer.</p>
<p>Okay, I am just very paranoid, haha. Thank you!</p>
