<p>When it comes to chort answers and essay and free responses:
Most (if not all) say "you can pick a topic of your choice".
is it ok to pick that? Or do they give more credit to those who pick the given topics?</p>
<p>Also if you choose to write about a topic of your choice, do you put your topc/question and the top and then start writing? Or do you just write it out and make the topic evident though the writing?</p>
<p>usually you check the box (or something to that effect) next to your topic… i know that’s true of the QB and Common Apps. which one are you using?</p>
<p>Just put a header with your name & the prompt you’re responding to so that if they lose the paper or put it down, they still have your application. :] Also, it just makes it easier for the reader…</p>
<p>Don’t write the question at the top or at the beginning of your essay. They usually make you check off which topic you’ve chosen or which question you’re answering.</p>
<p>I think if you choose ‘Topic of your choice’, you should maybe write a question up the top, to show what your answering. I don’t think it’s gonna hurt you whether you put it or not</p>
