<p>I'm getting my essay fedexed to Pomona (it's 1300 words, btw). I was a little confused as to what the heading should be like. It should say "Pomona Optional Essay", followed by the prompt ("reinvent your high school....") and then the title of the essay, right? Is there anything else I need to add? I need to be sure before I can send it.</p>
<p>and any extra tips on presenting it well would be helpful too. :)</p>
<p>I would do a very simple Times New Roman font... don't try to do anything too fancy.</p>
<p>As for a header, the most important thing is to be clear about who you are and what the paper you're submitting is all about. Be sure to put your name, social security number (so it can be easily matched up with your application), what the paper is, the essay prompt, and then your response.</p>
