<p>I have a question. I already finished my common application essay and plan on submiting it, but how should my document look? Double-spaced, do I need my name on each page, or my birthday or what? This is all online and specific instructions aren't really given for that.</p>
<p>When I did mine I uploaded double spaced essays with 1" margins. Once submitted, the essays get stamped by commonapp with your name and application number. Therefore, I do not believe anything is needed as a header/footer.</p>
