<p>If we attach an essay electronically, should include a header stating our name, date of birth, and high school?</p>
<p>I ask because it seems unnecessary, even though I've seen other essays which include it and college books which advise it.</p>
<p>I didn't. It's unnecessary.</p>
<p>Probably not.</p>
<p>No need. Common App delivers your application as one file. Your essay will be merged in there seamlessly. We've already testing this many times in our imaging system and there's no problem with it.</p>
<p>i added a header anyway.</p>
