Specify Prompt/Topic for Common App "Topic of Your Choice"?

<p>Answer question in thread title please. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Should I specify what I am talking about in my essay if I selected "Topic of your choice"? Or include a prompt for what I am writing?</p>

<p>You could make up your own prompt or choose the same prompt from another application, perhaps worded a little differently, or you could just title it.
My D, for example, titled her essay with a quote she liked, which indicated what the contents of the essay were about.</p>

<p>Right, but should you include the prompt? Or just submit the essay by itself?</p>

<p>Well, my answer implied that you'd include the prompt or title at the top of the essay.</p>

<p>oh okay then. Thanks!</p>
