"Sign your essay"

<p>On Oberlin's supplement they instruct the applicant to "sign your essay." However, I am applying online via the Common Application. How does one "sign" his or her online essay?</p>

<p>I sent a supplement essay via mail but nowhere in the app. materials did I see an instruction to sign the essay. So, I am on the same boat as you are DmctNY8. But, I had my name typed on the headnote though.</p>
